Is Twitter for Lovers or for Fighters? This Week, At Least, It’s for Lovers
July 30th, 2010 admin

Last week I published this: “How 'Inception' Became the New World Cup (and/or Justin Bieber).” But guess what? Bieber himself is back, baby!

If you have a young teen or tween in your life, you already know that this is an epic week: 16-year-old Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber's second album, “My World 2.0: Justin Bieber,” (sequel to last November's “My World: Justin Bieber”), was released yesterday.

Sometimes it's pretty easy to guess what will make our weekly Top 10 Most Tweeted Brands chart, a collaboration between Advertising Age and What the Trend — and not just the No. 1 spot (occupied again this week by the omnipresent pop star Justin Bieber, fresh off of his “Saturday Night Live” gig and People magazine cover)....

A funny thing happened on the way to this week's Top 10 Most Tweeted Brands chart, a collaboration between Advertising Age and What the Trend: Someone named Bustin Jieber started to trend on Twitter. Which freaked me out a bit, because in preparing the April 26th edition of this charticle, I just couldn't bring myself to type the words...

Sort of a sad chart this week, in multiple ways: George Steinbrenner got a massive send-off from the Twittersphere, as did the World Cup. What will people tweet about instead of soccer? “Inception,” I guess. And Paul the Octopus — who correctly predicted the winner of the World Cup — will surely fade from Twitter view,...

After getting deposed last week from his usual No. 1 spot on the Top 10 Most Tweeted Brands chart — a collaboration between Advertising Age and What the Trend — 16-year-old teen-pop sensation Justin Bieber returns triumphantly this week. No surprise, since his second album drops next week. And no surprise that a certain holiday made...

Proactiv continues its tradition of using perpetually unblemished spokespeople with Justin Bieber, whose swaggering endorsement doesn’t cover the sad fact that his voice hasn’t changed yet. He really does have a swagger coach, by the way—Ryan Good, formerly affiliated with Usher, is the guy responsible for Bieber’s whitened-up...

Let's agree to ignore the little fella who tops our Top 10 Most Tweeted Brands chart — a collaboration between Advertising Age and What the Trend — because I already covered Bieber Fever earlier in the week. Instead, I'll cut to the chase: How great is it that, in the week Twitter turned 4 years old, an actual topic of substance...


Finally! After four weeks in our top spot, “Inception” has been deposed — by the Teen Choice Awards. For the purposes of this chart, we consolidate related trends, and the biggest subtrend to come out of the TCA's was “Taylor Hotner” — a play on the name of Taylor Lautner, one of the stars of the “Twilight”...

More and more, it seems that a sure-fire way to become a top-trending personality on Twitter is to trash and/or get trashed. Consider Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA official, who was briefly (and wrongly) maligned as a racist on Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com blog. Or, bizarrely, Felipe Neto, a Brazilian video-blogger who pissed off...
