Twitter trends 2010: Apple, Google and Wikileaks well in the race

Following Google's ranking of the year's top search terms, Twitter has now also announced its top topics.

In addition to the top topics of the year, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the football World Cup in South Africa, technology topics were also heavily involved. Apple's iPad in particular made it to sixth place in the "Overall Top Trends", closely followed by Google Android. In the technology category, Apple dominates ahead of Google and is represented four times in the top 10 with the Apple iPad, Apple iOS, Apple iPhone and the MacBook Air. With Google Android and Google Instant, Google still managed two top 10 rankings.
WikiLeaks is also right on trend. The Wikileaks Cablegate makes it to seventh place in the news events. Julian Assange himself is ranked fourth in the People list.
