Top trends on Twitter 2010

I thought this blogpost by DK, was quite interesting. 

*Cut and paste*

Twitter recently released the top 10 Trends in 2010. According to Twitter, 25 billion Tweets were sent in 2010. And these are the top 10 topics that people say on Twitter.

Top 10 Twitter Trends of 2010

1. Gulf Oil Spill

2. FIFA World Cup

3. Inception

4. Haiti Earthquake

5. Vuvuzela

6. Apple iPad

7. Google Android

8. Justin Bieber

9. Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

10. Pulpo Paul

I’m quite surprised that Gulf Oil Spill top the list. Perhaps @BPGlobalPRis partially responsible for it.3 of the top 10 trenad are related to World Cup (FIFA World Cup, Vuvuzela and Pulpo Paul). Interesting.

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows is a very recent movie. (Released on 11 Nov 2010) Yet it managed to squeeze itself into the top 10 list. This goes to show the power of Harry Potter. Inception ranks number 3 in the list. This is not really a surprise. I keep seeing people talking about Inception when it was showing in the cinema.

There’s only 2 tech gadgets in the list, Apple iPad and Google Android. I was hoping to see more.

And I’m very very surprised that Justin Bieber isn’t number 1 in the lis. In fact, he is positioned number 8. There is still hope for Twitter.

Yay! GO HARRY POTTER! :P
