The latest instalment of Twitter’s year in review series throws light on what we’ve all been searching for and hastagging over the last 12 months.
Despite its understandable bias towards US trends, this series of lists, blog commentary and attractively-presented overviews should be considered essential reading for anyone with an interest in social media.
