The most retweeted tweets
At the end of each year, it has become customary to read Google's Zeitgeist, a ranking that attempts to capture the spirit of the times by listing the words that saw the greatest increase in searches over the previous 12 months. We will now have to get used to a listing published by Twitter.
The microblogging site, which we have just found out has increased its value 4 times in 12 months (now worth 3.7 billion dollars), has announced its top 10 most "retweeted" tweets. We are talking about the messages that were reposted the most by its users.
Twitter confirmed that Justin Bieber was the object of unprecedented interest in 2010. Several tweets about him are on the list of most "retweeted" messages. In first place, we find a tongue in cheek tweet about the oil spill in the Gulf, tweeted by the American comedian Stephen Colbert.
