Who thinks tweet can not do exit polls’re wrong, the number of tweets in the 
mouth of the urn can explain the tremendous turn of the trend that was the UK remain in the European Union to exit (#brexit) which ended up being the result.
Observed by IDGNow, the numbers reached 6.4 million tweets from 7 am fifth in the morning today (23/6) when they opened the voting sessions, until 10 h the sixth Friday morning (24/6) the outcome it was released and the nation reacted to the resignation speech of Prime Minister David Cameron.
During resignation use Twitter reached twice the normal levels, with a peak of 13,000 tweets per minute and all #EUref campaign to the referendum hashtag is used.
But the result is significant if we compare the latest polling day 23/6 hours showing that the trend varied during the day and this may have been significant for the final vote, revealing that in fact there is a clear tendency to exit (here marked as leave) or stay (marked remain).
