Twitter has become extremely popular over the past year. Twitter is growing with popularity each day, and new applications are being added frequently by many people. Applications on Twitter are what make this site more interesting. One can add the application “Just Tweet Me” to search for whom they might be compatible with. There’s also an application called “TwitPics,” which allows a Twitter user to upload pictures that other followers can view. An application that I seem to find most interesting is “TweetMeme.”
“TweetMeme” is an application used to show the most popular links used on Twitter. “TweetMeme” separates interests into different categories such as comedy, entertainment, gaming, lifestyle, science, sports, technology, and world and business. One can also view popular links for videos and images viewed on Twitter. The most twitted video I found interesting and somewhat hilarious is Amy Winehouse trying to rap. I never knew this video existed until I logged on to “TweetMeme.” Listed along the side are top tweets that are most popular on Twitter at the moment. I enjoy keeping up with popular news, and what the hot topics are currently. Entertainment news is what really interests me the most. Following celebrity gossip and news is something I like to do, which is mainly why I like the “TweetMeme” application. This Twitter application is a perfect way to stay in touch with today’s current most talked about news.
Today, a video of Anne Frank back in 1941 was resurfaced and shown on YouTube. This video is currently the most tweeted about on Twitter. It has recieved about 1730 tweets so far. Its a very short, silent clip, and Anne Frank is shown on it for a total of 9 seconds. This is the only video we have of Anne Frank, which is why so many people are tweeting about it.
