<p>There were 10.3 million tweets sent last night regarding the presidential debates--a new record for the site. [<a href="http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2012/10/04/big-bird-helps-presidential-debate-soar-to-most-tweeted-about-political-event-in-us-history/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheNextWeb+%28The+Next+Web+All+Stories%29">TNW</a>]</p>
<p>However, between all the newly created Big Bird accounts and red tie/blue tie observations, it's possible that Twitter went a little nuts over the presidential debates. Just a little nuts. [<a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/81995.html">Politico</a>]</p>
<p>Perhaps the most painful moment, though? When Mitt Romney basically classed beloved electric auto company Tesla as a "loser." :( [<a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/10/romney-tesla-loser/"><em>Wired</em></a>]</p>
<p>At least one analyst thinks ecommerce is going to have a great Christmas--because everyone has decided the economy is bad and that makes them scared of what other shoppers will do IRL.

<p>This morning Mark Zuckerberg took to Facebook to announce the company has reached a billion monthly active users. Glad someone's having a good day. [<a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10100518568346671">Facebook</a>]</p>
<p>Looks like the team from review site Fondu got acqui-hired by Airbnb. [<a href="http://blog.fondu.com/post/32810226649/today-we-are-thrilled-to-announce-fondu-has-been">Fondu's Tumblr</a>]</p>
