CNN - Following Friday’s earthquake in Japan, people around the world have sought the latest news and information – be they stories of tragedy or triumph – from CNN across all of its platforms, including the network’s presence on social networks. In fact, the network’s breaking news account on Twitter, @CNNBrk, just this morning exceeded four million followers. And that number continues to rise at a rate ten times greater than the average.

CNN.com also has seen extremely high traffic increases since Friday. Between Friday, March 11 and Sunday, March 13, CNN.com has served 264 million global page views and 87 million global video streams. More CNN.com video was watched in those three days than it had in total for the prior 30 days. (Source: Omniture Global)
