FACEBOOK Inc and Twitter Inc released a barrage of data, special "heat" maps and slick animations on Monday to claim the title of most-popular social network for spectators watching the Super Bowl, but a winner was difficult to pick.
Facebook, the world's largest social network, boasted that 65 million people chimed in on its service about the match that saw the New England Patriots edge out the Seattle Seahawks 28-24, up 30 per cent from the year earlier. Facebook even rolled out a new metric: The "people per minute" who joined in during the game's most intense moments.
