First, let's make a resolution not to give boring annual lists airtime next year.

Second, what more interesting analysis could Twitter do? Personally, I'd like to see a "tweeters like you" aggregation where you could explore what people with similar follow lists tweeted about.

shocked and amazed that micro-blogging service, Twitter, is boring. They are just a blogging service, right?

John,

This was an interesting blog post to
read on the topic of "Twitter Trends."

I too am interested in finding out
what Twitter will do with the data
collected.

Keep up the great work! Have a wonderful
Holiday Season!

We (Flaptor) released the top 20 hourly peaks of 2009 on Twitter a couple of days before. Our analysis is more quantitative, as we show the percentage of hourly tweets for each one. Michael Jackson had 22.6% of all tweets during the hour of his death announcement.

Absolutely ridiculous. #mm > #ff? WTF? Hardly have I coined GooTards, I think now it’s time for TwitTards.

ps/btw: these lists (both Twitter + Google) are completely useless. How, for example does anyone come to the conclusion that mentioning Liverpool is a matter of sports? Did they check every tweet? LMAO!

I’m looking forward to some insight into all that real time meta data they collect.
