This proves it – America loves a good train-wreck and Rebecca Black is no exception. Twitter has released their trending topics list and everyone’s favorite YouTube sensation has topped it. Has it been fifteen minutes yet?
According to Twitter, 200 million tweets are sent out each day (That’s a billion tweets every five days!). This is a dramatic increase from 2009 when only 2 million tweets were sent out each day. “For perspective, every day, the world writes the equivalent of a 10 million-page book in tweets.“
And to think, Rebecca Black is the most talked about. Shame on you Twitter users, shame on you.
Check out the list here:
- Rebecca Black
- Femme Fatale
- Charlie Sheen
- #tigerblood
- Nate Dogg
- Anderson Silva
- Tom & Jerry
- Mumford & Sons
- Bieber Alert
- Queen Gaga
To be fair, this list is only for the first half of 2011. But still, seriously?
