I’m going to be a father! Well, on TV at least. The “Boy Meets World” sequel is officially happening! – @BenSavage
Esta nota de Mashable presenta un listado de los Tuits (“Tweets”, si les ofende que lo castellanize) mas Retuiteados de toda la historia de Twitter -o dicho más simple, de los mensajes más reenviados-.
Como la nota lo advierte y lamenta, el uso mas común que la famosa plataforma de micro-blogging ha encontrado, no ha sido para difundir ideas revolucionarias, noticias relevantes, o información útil para la mayoria de la gente, sino una mezcla absurda de comentarios y fotos personales de gente famosa, principalmente del mundo del espectáculo.
Si, es triste pero en fin, el que internet esté lleno de basura no es precisamente culpa de internet…
So, on the eve of Twitter’s initial public offering, we took a look at what Twitter-tracker Favstar says are the most-retweeted tweets of all time (though none is more than a couple years old).
This seems like the best metric for measuring Twitter success, given that the network’s defining feature is the rapid spread of information. And yes, we understand this list is not totally comprehensive or perfect: for example, it leaves off Barack Obama’s re-election tweet,which garnered more than 789,000 retweets. And there are tweets from Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and a Green Bay football player noted here that should be on the list, but don’t change the analysis. So, as a caveat, let’s say FavStar is not canonical, but it is instructive.
Notably missing from the list: political figures, revolutions, breaking-news events. While most individual Twitter accounts feature a mix of entertainment, news and interpersonal interaction, when you average out the sea of tweets, we find gray platitudes from famous people.
OK, here we go, from No. 12 to No. 1, ranging from roughly 45,000 retweets up to 110,000:
