Our Social Twitter World...


This weekend a friend of mine took some time to teach an old dog (me) some new Twitter tricks. Had no idea that there was so much going on ALL the time. Sure I knew about the tweets of the mega stars and how Lady Gaga tweeted a pic without makeup but who knew about trending topics??

Sounds like something you learn in a PoliSci class! "The new trending topic on the Hill today..."

So, the trending topics in the US right now?? They are:

#IndieFilmLove Promoted
#nowthat2pacsback
#PensIn7
#DearMonday
Kidrauhl Owns Our Hearts
FCAT
That Tupac
Coachella
OMW To School
2Pac

Well, that is specifically at 8:04 AM. It changes practically minutely. Then there are trending topics -- worldwide. Those topics now are:

#IndieFilmLove Promoted
Christopher Pain
Craig Thompson
#creepingsharia
#CherylColeForCapitalSTB
Pyne
#CapitalSTB
Pinoy JS Prom Memories
TeamGinoMikay
Kidrauhl Owns Our Hearts

See? Very different. You can change the settings so you can see what different parts of the world are talking about. That excites me! To be a part of the ongoing person-to-person conversation anywhere in the world. To be able to take the pulse of a group of people without huge phone bills. Totally awesome.

So, if you think Twitter is just for kids, think again! There's so much more if you deign to look.

Have a happy Monday and hit the trend topic -- #DearMonday to see how many people just love Monday. LOL!!
