Tis the Season for Twitter Trends

The end of 2009 is coming up so it’s a good time to reflect upon the year and share some quality time with family.

Or if you work at a startup, comb through your various mountains of data and publish your end of year Zeitgeist. Google and others have done this for years and it has become a sort of data fetish for SEO and trend analysts around the globe.

Never to be left behind, Twitter has also published their end of the year trending topic report. This list like any good Zeitgeist is curated some to remove less pleasant terms (read:sexy hashtags). Typically a company will put in some small editorial adjustments here too, you want that data to look good after all!

In any case, here are the topics. Now you can look back in a few years and say “Remember when we all Tweeted about Google Wave to nausea, man that product was horrible”
