People Sure Do Like to Say Twitter–A Lot
Twitter was recently branded as the most used word of 2009, with Barack Obama coming in second and H1N1 coming third.
But how do we know what words people are saying the most in a particular year? Well, Twitter was crowned the winner by Texas-based algorithms company, Global Language Monitor (GLM). Other words people like to say a lot are vampire, which we can blame on Stephanie Meyer and her Twilight series as well as True Blood, and of course, the word stimulus, which makes sense since we’re in the middle of a global recession and $800 billion sure is a lot of money to be pumped into the US economy–and still have more people living below the poverty line since the Great Depression.
This definitely shows how big Twitter is, not just as a social networking site, but as a daily part of our lives. All of the really big news that has broken over the past year or more, I have heard about first on Twitter and a lot of other people have remarked with the same sentiment. Twitter is easy for anyone to hop onto, it’s accessible and that is why it has seen so much success covering pretty much any and every topic imaginable.
So what do you think? Are you on Twitter? Do you Tweet your days and nights away or still not understand why everyone is on it? Also, don’t forget to follow WomanTribune on Twitter!

I think twitter helps people vent a little bit and thats why it has caught on so much, people need an out.
i just love to chat in twitter… it is just awesome..
i like twitter because it is very much user friendly.. now i am connected with every friend of mine through twitter..
I still can’t figure out how to use twitter it just feels so unnecessary?!
It’s really not all that surprising that Twitter has become so popular in such a short time. In the wide arena of social networking sites, Twitter is probably one of the easiest to use for personal, as well as business purposes. Great post.
