What does this mean?? - becca - 10-02-2012 06:46 AM
Just something that I saw Howard Sherman post on twitter
What does this mean?
"I follow more than 1,000 people on Twitter, across three continents. But 1:30 am to about 3 am is pretty much the Bermuda Triangle of tweets"
The Bermuda Triangle part is what I don't get
Sorry I'm dumb
thanks

In popular culture, the "Bermuda Triangle" is an area of the sea where shipping and aircraft mysteriously disappear. Various explanations have been put forward for this - both natural and supernatural.
In this case, the Bermuda Triangle is being used as an analogy for the "dead" time of the night when there is little or no Twitter traffic.
Actually, it's a pretty poor comparison. The Bermuda Triangle is one of the world's busiest shipping areas!
