InSane numbers

Stewart/Colbert rally broadcast draws 2 million to Comedy Central - USATODAY.com: "The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear drew tens of thousands to the National Mall in DC — and 2 million viewers to Comedy Central from noon to 3 p.m. ET, according to Nielsen figures.

There were 570,000 live video streams of the event served up on the web and mobile devices, the network says, as well as 120,000 Tweets, 50,000 Foursquare check-ins and 35,000 rally photos posted via Flickr. Oh, and the network says there was an audience of 250,000 at the event itself, although the National Park Service no longer offers official crowd counts. Washington Transit officials said Metro ridership broke a 19-year-old Saturday record."
