Apple's iPad Announcement Measured in Tweets
Twitter released this chart, tracking the number of tweets per minute with the word "iPad" in them during Apple's iPad event yesterday. As shown in the graph above, the highest peak occurred just after Tim Cook announced that the new iPad would be priced at $499, the same pricing structure as the iPad 2.
Other prominent spikes occurred when the iPad was actually announced, when Apple shared that 4G would be included, and when it was shared that the 16GB iPad 2 would stick around for $399.
