What speed!  What dexterity!  And I am not just talking about the continuing spectacle of The World Cup, or excitement of the now-decided NBA Finals (congratulations Lakers).  Last week, Twitter fans posted a record 2,940 posts per second just 30 seconds after Japan scored against Cameroon in The World Cup.  A record which stood for [...]
