2010 In Review According To Google And Twitter
You can tell it’s the end of the year because all the “best of” and predictions are starting to pop up around the web. The big boys are out early with theirs this year as Twitter and Google aim to steal the limelight with a couple of impressive releases. The interesting thing here is that by analyzing both the trending topics and Google search terms it gives us an excellent picture of the year to date and the major events and trends from around the planet.
Top Twitter Trends
There have been a staggering 25 billion tweets this year and the good folks over at Twitter have been analyzing those tweets to determine the top trends of the year.

You can see the top 10 overall list below but they also drill down in to categories as well.

You forget some of the things that have happened over the last year but this video brings Google’s biggest searched terms to life in a very visual way.
