'Twitter' most popular word of 2009

A study confirms that the most popular as well as the most used word over the past 11 months is "twitter." This study, performed by Texas-based group, The Global Language Monitor, tracks linguistic trends. They then count the number of times these words appear on the internet and in other media.



Following twitter, the next words in the popularity progression are "Obama," "H1N1," "stimulus," and "vampire." The most popular name, unsurprisingly, is "Barack Obama." He is closely followed by "Michael Jackson."

This is a great feat for the quickly-developed twitter network. So, in respect to the brevity of twitter posts, I'll end this celebratory post here.
