The number of terse text message "tweets" at Twitter topped 4,000 per second while US President Barack Obama announced.
The barrage of tweets was among the highest message-sending outbursts at Twitter, which handed a record high number of 6,939 tweets-per-second when New Year's Eve 2010 arrived in Japan.
Messages tagged with "#osama" and "obl" quickly jumped to the top two spots in a list of the hottest topics at the global microblogging service.
By the time Sunday ended in California more than a 250,000 people had "liked" an "Osama bin Laden is Dead" page at social networking service Facebook.
Google-owned video sharing website YouTube dedicated nearly a third of its home page to clips related to bin Laden's death and the celebrations breaking out on US streets.
At geo-location service Foursquare, more than 160 people in San Francisco had "checked in" to a "Post-Osama bin Laden World" using their smartphones. (AFP)
