Sharknado took Twitter by storm and no one was prepared for all the press that the Ian Ziering/Tara Reid/Cassie Scerbo movie was going to get via more Tweets than there were sharks in those tornadoes. In fact Syfy executive
Craig Engler Tweeted, “People. #Sharknado stats: 387K social mentions (97% driven by Twitter with the top hashtags #sharknado #syfy), five thousand tweets a minute” Then he added, “There were more than 604,000 tweets about the irresistible #Sharknado from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. ET on Thurs” Dang who knew the little movie that was absurd as its name would attract the likes of Mia Farrow, Elizabeth Banks, Wil Wheaton and Shawn Ryan to name just a few of the very many. But it did and it became a viral smash that people all over the world got to enjoy together. That’s make Twitter so much fun!
BTW if you missed the movie directed by Anthony Ferrante, you can watch it on July 18th at 7p.
