De Twittertrends in de VS deze week
Vorige week -begin november 2010- was het naast artiest Justin Bieber, vooral de ‘elections’ en ‘halloween’ die de Amerikaanse tweeps goed bezig hielden. Bieber – de Tweep met de meeste invloed (bron: Tweetlevel.com) zorgde voor een buzz en ‘rel’ met andere artiesten en was weer in de top 10 te vinden.
Bieber doet vooral aan voorpromotie voor zijn nieuwe album op Twitter.
Sport en events
In de week van 6-12 november 2010 was het vooral sport en waren het de events die Twitter bezig hield. De ‘war’ tussen de Jonas Brothers en eerdergenoemde Justin Bieber bracht de Brother op 1 als hoofdtopic. De nieuwe Call of Duty release was goed voor een tweede plek. Super Junior is een populaire band uit Korea. Bieber claimt per deze week meer volgers dan Gaga. En ook dat buzzt.
