Twitter. For a word that's all about 140 characters, I can sum it up in 7.
Winner. (figured I'd include the period.)
According to the Global Language Monitor, which documents, analyzes and tracks trends in language around the world, Twitter is the top word of 2009 in its annual global survey.
"In a year dominated by world-shaking political events, a pandemic, the after effects of a financial tsunami and the death of a revered pop icon, the word Twitter stands above all the other words. Twitter represents a new form of social interaction, where all communication is reduced to 140 characters," said Paul JJ Payack, President of The Global Language Monitor.
Here's a look at the top 5 words, phrases and names with a dash of photo thrown in.
After you finish looking at all the photos, please leave a comment and let me know what you think of this list. I'm most curious as to what you might have chosen.
