For those of us living in the U.S., it was nearly impossible to avoid the hype surrounding last night’s season two premiere of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Lucky us, we were even gifted with Snook-ified iPhone and Facebook applications to get us amped up. With the premiere come and gone, we can now analyze the impact of the show on our favorite social media sites.
Social media monitoring service Row Feeder took a look at the volume and types of tweets, as well as Facebook posts, before, during and after the television event to put together the infographic below.
Twitter was the primary platform of choice for social expression, with peak activity bubbling up to 16,000 tweets per hour at 10:00 p.m ET. But, by the time the show premiered in the West, buzz had already died down significantly. According to Row Feeder’s calculations, Jersey and New York were the primary hotbeds of social activity.
