Twitter is really fluctuating with the #ObamaGate totals. It dropped from 2.35M to 1.92M to 1.35M in less then 30 seconds, then it went back up to 2.22M again and then down to 2.05M in ~20 seconds. After another 10 seconds it went down to 1.33M again.
Knowing that servers compute the data and they don't do a realtime second-by-second accurate count, I still find it odd that they didn't program some lag and dampening into this.
I can understand some variance, but this seems a bit off the scale and frankly I don't see it with other trends.
Just my 2ct.
