Twitter reveals 2011’s most popular

TWITTER has revealed that Charlie Sheen and the Egyptian uprising were amongst the most popular subjects for hashtags in 2011.

#egypt was the most used hashtag — a group of tweets gathered around the same subject — showing how integral the site was to the uprising against Hosni Mubarak’s regime that triggered the Arab Spring.

This was followed by #tigerblood, referring to a comment made by Sheen after his sacking from sitcom Two and a Half Men.
