A Follow Up on Twitter Trends.

Where does this week's twitter trend leave us? Let's try to forget Justin Bieber for a minute, even if he's #1 on the trend list. All right, so like we said before, the trends list keeps tweeters in tune with what's happening on Twitter. Well, if I hadn't looked at the trend list, I probably would have found out in like 2 years, that Super Junior was on the trend list! Who is Super Junior? For those of you who do not listen to Korean music, Super Junior is one of the largest boybands in the world with 13, yes, 13 members! Now 2 of their members are on Twitter, so only 11 more to go, right? It's interesting how celebrities from all over the world are getting onto Twitter and making use of their celebrity status for the good and sometimes the bad.

So what are some other functions of the trends list? Many of the subjects that make it to the list are completely because tweeters share some love for the celebrities or topics. It's also a place where tweeters can share things such as song titles or a place where tweeters can show they're knowledgeable and make their tweets heard! For example, in the past week, many people tweeted about earth day, it is like a community that bands together for a good cause! When's the last time you found a way to mobilize people for a good cause so quickly?
