Break the internet, break the internet!!!
So, did Kim Kardashian do just that with her nude photo shoot for Paper Magazine?
November 12, 2014 scientists made history by landing a spacecraft on a comet for the first time. Back on Earth, Kim Kardashian and Paper Magazine attempted to make history of their own and “break the Internet” with photos of Kim K. posing naked on the cover.
So how did interest levels in Kim Kardashian compare with the scientific milestone on Twitter?
Neither actually broke the Internet – or at least Twitter – but turns out the comet landing was more popular.
The main hashtags used were #CometLanding and #BreakTheInternet, but to be more comprehensive, we included tweets containing the words “comet” and “Kardashian.” Here’s how they stacked up for the previous 24 hours, as of 11 a.m. ET on November 13, 2014 (the Philae probe landed just after 11am ET Tuesday).
In addition, Twitter users tended to tweet more positively about the comet landing with a sentiment rating of 64. Tweets about Kim Kardashian got a rating of 43, although that doesn’t take into account humor. (Note: “Sentiment” is a rating system used by social analytic site Topsy to help determine whether tweets are more positive or negative in tone. 50 is neutral.)
Here are the tweets over time for the two hashtags: #CometLanding
