Short & sweet as my English professor in school should say, the statement is this the 2008’s most popular word “change” is now replaced with twitter in 2009.

While in 2008 the most popular word was Change (sponsored by Obama) the 2009’s word is Twitter. Twitter beats out words like Obama that was the #2, H1N1 #3, Stimulus #4, and vampire the #5. In my opinion it’s obvious that the top1 position was gained by twitter, I mean the business, the music industries, the social media sites, and everyone is using twitter for spreading something no matter if it’s news or a service, it’s used and it reaches to a great number of peoples because of the use of teenagers (for following their favorites stars) and also the factor that you can read a whole new on your mobile without taking to much time on it (I mean it’s only 140 characters).

Also it’s obvious that the most popular phrase of 2009 was “King of Pop” referring to MJ, BUT Michael Jackson wasn’t  the most famous name of the 2009, it was Barack Obama, how ironic hahaha..

It’s incredible (making a summary), in my personal opinion, social media has come the number #1 topic of a whole year, and it’s also taking strength in different economic aspects like business or publicity. What would be the 2010’s word?

Here in panama I think that it’s BLACKBERRY, ‘cause everyone have one, everyone talk about that, and most of the people has its BBpin number on his/her nick or his/her status on facebook, inclusive the man who’s attending you on a food store has one, also the other word in my opinion that should be in top 3 words Panamanian uses should be FACEBOOK or FARMVILLE.

What do you think?
