Below are graphs for burstiness of the words 'seahawks' and 'coffee' from late Saturday night through the following Monday afternoon. As far as I know nothing special happened with coffee on Sunday (except that which would happen normally on a Sunday), but the Seahawks won their important playoff game. Note that the graph for the Seahawks correspondingly gets to state 19. Kleinberg states that in his data a bound of 25 can be given to all realistic data. This suggests that the Seahawks graph is noticably bursty while the coffee graph is instead normally bursty.
