Ummmmm -- what is the TZ for the time scale? And wouldn't New Year's Eve seem a more likely peak load time? People posting where they are going to be, getting their "best wishes" in early, etc? Certainly your own data suggests as much: http://twiguard.com/hourly/wm-hourly-08-31-12-2009.png though there is not that much of an increment over New Year's Day itself, there dose seem to be more traffic, and _more sustained AND consistent traffic_ on NYE... (I'm assuming that the weirdness with 1000 and 1100 on NYE is just a data collection/aggregation problem and that the apparent massive drop and spike there really splits roughly 50/50 across those two hours, as it is about exactly 200% the apparent, fairly consistent, average tweet rate for the next 12-14 hours...)
