think before you tweet. >> you know, what's funny here is i think he did think. of came out a few days late we are an explanation not really an apology. one interesting twist is we are in the lockout situation in football, so he didn't get in trouble. the team hasn't had much communication with him. this is the perils of social networking, but he's free to have opinions be offensive to many. on the flip side of that, his endorsers are free to drop him and fans can boo him as they certainly will. it is an interesting context. >> what endorsement deals did he lose as a result of this? >> well, he lost a deal with champion that was a direct result of the tweeting. it is preting interesting. at some level you can be a first amendment absolutist, but it will be interesting to see if there's football this fall. this is not something fans on opposing teams will forget. it will be interesting to see how this plays out if there's a football season. >> you think it will be that enduring? >> athletes have made stupid and silly tweets, but something that cuts to the core que

let's talk about the number of tweets last night between say 10:45 and midnight.really did set records. >> they did. first off they hit an absolute peak of about 5,106 tweets every second and during the period from the start of the president's speech till the end they were pacing well over 4,000 tweets per second. >> normally it's about 600 per second. so you can see this is a giant spike. one tweet that came out last night that is said to be perhaps the first word of bin laden's death came from the current current chief of staff of former defense secretary donald rumsfeld. he says, "i'm told by a reputable person they have killed osama bin laden bin." these tweets, these facebook status updates don't to meet journalistic standards like multiple sources, do they? >> that's right. the irony in this case was keith urban soare s was a tv producer could pick it up and run with it. using twitter to get the breaking news and breaking was in and driving it back at mainstream media? >> and perhaps driving people to their trusted news outlets. facebook tonight telling me w

meanwhile, he would tweet, i can't believe i'm the guy who live tweeted the death of osama bin laden. then this, i'm just a tweeter, he wrote, awake at the time of the crash. not many tweeters use twitter. they are more into facebook. that's all. now the first semiofficial word leaks by the assisnt of donald rumsfeld. he road i'm tol by a reputable person they have killed osama bin laden. hot damn. by the time the president spoke, a lot of the world new the news. several reporters called the event twitter-cnn moment. if you are too young to remember, cnn first reported on the air strikes against iraq, captivating viewers as bernard shaw reported via telephone. until then, people didn't take cnn very seriously. it was cnn's moment. now, we are saying this is twitter's cnn moment. >> isn't it interesting how far we have come getting information out? now obama is going to speak instead of he announcing the news. it's amazing. it is 6:27 now. it took minutes for word to spread in new york city. it didn't take long for people to fill the streets near ground zero and times square for the ce
