Europe sings, Australia tweets

I don't know how anyone watched Eurovision before Twitter.

It's like having a giant, national party in your living room, but without actually having to feed or talk to them.

During the weekend, Twitter exploded with tweets about Eurovision.  At times, they were coming so thick and fast that it was impossible to read them.

Here's a few choice tweets:


The anticipation before the show






Warnings were issued to others


For some it was a whole-of-body experience



People set their priorities




It started



Predictions were made




The running commentary also began










 














Politics came into it




All acts completed their performance

The long process of countries reporting their votes began







But attention started to drift to other things during the voting

Sometimes Australia felt very far away from the action




 The result was announced





Some found extra meaning in Austria's win 





Comparisons to other famous Austrians were made

And then there was THAT beard



 Then there were some final reflections
