Description
The first of its kind, A Twitter Year distills a year of conversation, argument, revelation and revolution into a "review of the year" as written by the Twitter community.
From the Arab Spring to the Royal
Wedding, the rescue of the Chilean miners to the fall of the News of the
World and the London Riots, compelling tweet-by-tweet accounts freeze-frame
the breaking of the biggest news stories of the past twelve months, alongside
profiles of top tweeters, striking visual analysis and fascinating statistics.
In the year the ‘micro-blogging' website celebrates its fifth anniversary,
Twitter continues to grow at an incredible rate. A global phenomenon, there are
now an estimated 200 million accounts around the world, with everyone from the
British monarchy to Lady Gaga tweeting their perfectly formed 140 character
messages. And it shows no sign of slowing down: during two hours on the night
of Osama bin Laden's death, average activity peaked at a record-breaking 3,440
tweets per second.
A Twitter Year gathers together some of the funniest, sharpest and most
insightful voices on Twitter to bring you a unique celebration of modern global
communication.
