Excitement for Twitter in Japan reaches Beatle-mania heights, as evident by Friday night’s tweetup.
In a banquet room in Tokyo’s Ebisu neighborhood, Twitter’s co-founder and CEO, Evan Williams, welcomes 500 attendees to the most successful gathering organized by the micro-blogging platform.
During his speech, he notes how far Twitter has come in Japan, from an attendance of just 40 people two years ago to the packed room on Friday. The service has really taken off in Japan, setting a world record for most tweets per second in the aftermath of Japan’s World Cup victory against Denmark.
