Obama helps CNN.com break records

By owenamos

Barack Obama’s inauguration proved a record-breaking day for CNN.com.

The website had more than 136million page views by 3.30pm (US eastern time) yesterday.

It also served 21.3m live video streams – breaking the previous record, 5.3m, set on the US presidential election day.

Of those 21.3m, CNN.com’s live stream was watched by 1.3m people concurrently, just before Obama’s address.
