Comments on: Here come the kids: Twitter popularity soars for young people http://www.webeden.co.uk/blog/social-media/here-come-the-kids-twitter-popularity-soars-for-young-people/ Latest news from Webeden Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:46:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Alison Cross http://www.webeden.co.uk/blog/social-media/here-come-the-kids-twitter-popularity-soars-for-young-people/#comment-2770 Alison Cross Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:11:59 +0000 http://www.webeden.co.uk/blog/?p=1196#comment-2770 One thing that I do notice is that the trending topics rarely, if ever, actually apply to anything that I am remotely interested in - and tends to be about the sort of thing that teenagers would talk about (dare I say it, mainly boys?!) BUT - that said - no-one in my Twitter set of followers/following pays the slightest bit of attention to the Trending Topics. Twitter is like a little universe - if you're not interested in it, it won't crop up in your account. My account is pleasingly packed with professional tarotists, well-respected artists and authors.....and magazine editors and columists. #wordstosayaftersex nor #jenniferaniston never EVER crops up in our conversations ;-) If you're reading this and you're not on Twitter - it's BAGS of fun! AX PS - just checked the trending topics and actually found that #nationalpoetryday is doing well, as is #postalstrike rather putting the mockers on what I've just written. However, the ubiquitous #lindsaylohan and rather bizarrely, #glee and #catalyst..... .....please, if you know what those trending terms are all about, don't bother to tell me. I've come this far in life without knowing, I guess I can soldier on a little longer *grin* AX One thing that I do notice is that the trending topics rarely, if ever, actually apply to anything that I am remotely interested in – and tends to be about the sort of thing that teenagers would talk about (dare I say it, mainly boys?!)
