Guess what everyone was talking about on Twitter Saturday.

Did you say Chris Christie?  Or Up with Steve Kornacki?  Well, you’re right.  The blockbuster story about how the mayor of Hoboken was told, at least twice, that she had to OK a development project in her city if she wanted Sandy relief funds reverberated throughout Twitter Saturday morning.

Cable news Trending Topics for January 16, 2014: Anderson Cooper rides a wave

Cable News Trending Topics for 2014-01-16

While The Ed Show had the best hour during the day, there was something more interesting afoot yesterday.  This tweet:

2014-01-17_12-10-51

 

Got retweeted so many times (over 18K times at the time I took the screen shot) that it twitter bombed the tag cloud for the day.  It may end up putting AC 360 in the top spot for today (1/17).

It’s an example of how social media can be overcome by waves of tweets (and retweets) that drown out other conversations, but in the long run don’t really have a lasting meaning or impact.
