Trending on Twitter: Brazil elections, Nobel prize and #cantwait



What The Trend, a Twitter aggregator that positions itself as “the front page of the real time web”, released its findings of the biggest Twitter trends for this recent week which featured the Brazilian elections, Nobel Prizes and some rather odd-ball memes.

Politics, sport, music and TV all featured strongly, along with a broad selection of off-beat memes that picked up a viral following across the Twittersphere:

1. BRAZIL ELECTION: The Brazilian general election was held Oct 3rd, 2010. Marina Silva, the Green Party candidate running for presidency had her own hashtag (#marina43) and was the most popular by tweets. Dilma Rousseff took over 46 percent of the votes, Social Democrat Jose Serra got 32 percent and Marina Silva scored 19 percent. Since no one candidate garnered above 50% of the vote, there will be a run-off election at the end of the month.

2. #liesyoushouldntfallfor: A meme where people listed all the lies you shouldn’t buy.

3. #CANTWAIT: People are tweeting about things they can’t wait for.

4. GLEE (TV SHOW): The character Finn, on the TV show “Glee”, saw a Jesus impression burnt into his grilled cheese on the October 5th 2010 episode, thus the episode name “Grilled Cheesus.”

5. #wheniwasakid: People are talking about what they did when they was a kid.

6. NFL: The most discussed news from the world of Major League Football was Randy Moss being traded from the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings.

7. NOBEL PRIZE: The 2010 Nobel Prizes were announced this week. The Nobel Prize is awarded each year to people who have done outstanding research, invented groundbreaking techniques or equipment, or made outstanding contributions to society in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace and Economics. People most discussed Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian writer, who won in the field of Literature, and British physiologist Robert Edwards who won the Nobel Prize for medicine for his work on the development of human in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

8. #TwoThingsThatDontMix: People are tweeting about two things that they don’t think go together.

9. DUTCH POLITICS: The Dutch Christian Democrats (CDA) formed a coalition with the Dutch Liberals (VVD) with formal support of the Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) in an effort to form a minority government.

10. Fan of a Fan Remix: The leaked remix (featuring Drake, T.I., Fabulous, Kanye West, Andre 3000 and Rick Ross) of Chris Brown’s hit song “Deuces,” off from the “Fan of a Fan” mixtape, generated a lot of excitement.
