"推特公布2011年的熱門標籤"

這張清單顯示全世界正在談論各種廣泛的事物。

推特上週公佈它的年度熱門「標籤」，#埃及和#老虎血是第一、二名。這兩個議題彰顯出全球天南地北的興趣差異——第一名的詞條指的是北非國家的政治動亂，而第二名則是查理辛在他高度曝光的崩潰中所發明出來的口號。

標籤是用在推特上來將標題類似的推文收集在一起。標籤也讓分析師更容易看出人們在討論的事。推特在他的部落格貼文說：「這些『標籤』趨勢展示推特能將興趣相投的人連結在一起。相較於看新聞、超級盃…，我們在推特上一起看。」

推特也公布在不同類別中最受歡迎的議題的清單。前埃及總統穆巴拉克辭職是最佳新聞故事。令人驚訝的是，音樂清單的頭號人物不是女神卡卡或小賈斯汀，而是瑞貝卡布萊克。如果你從來沒有聽說過她，她是一位在Youtube上張貼一首歌曲的美國青少年。布萊克不會唱歌的事實眾所皆知，但卻不能阻止大眾看這段影片或在推特上標籤她。

(Technology) Twitter Releases 2011s Top Hashtags

The lists show that the world is talking about a wide range of different things.

Twitter last week revealed its top hashtags of the year, and #egypt and #tigerblood came in first and second. The two topics highlight the worlds wildly divergent interests - while the top entry refers to the political trouble in the North African country, the next one was a catchphrase invented by Charlie Sheen during his highly publicized breakdown.

Hashtags are used on twitter to group together tweets about similar topics. They also make it easier for analysts to see what people are talking about. Twitter put a post on its blog saying: More than anything, these hashtag trends demonstrate how Twitter connects people with common interests. Instead of watching the news, the Super BowlK we watched them together on Twitter.

Twitter also released lists of the most popular topics in a range of different categories. The resignation of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was the top news story. Amazingly, the top name on the music list was not Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber. Instead, it was Rebecca Black. In case youve never heard of her, shes an American teenager who released a song on YouTube. Its widely accepted that Black cant sing, but that didnt stop people watching the video or hashtagging her on twitter.
