What Americans tweeted about most in 2014 - courtesy of Echelon
America tweeted about Ferguson more than any other news story in 2014:http://www.vox.com/2014/12/29/7463663/twitter-news-2014
Other data collected, including what liberals vs conservatives tweeted about the most. The frequency of "benghazi", "guns", "Israel" and "ebola" in the conservative column (2nd chart down) is interesting - and in the next chart, what conservatives tweeted about more than anything else was "guns". The final comment is interesting too: "Liberal activists were 3.09x more likely to tweet about the GOP than conservatives, while conservative activists were 2.11 more likely to tweet about President Obama than liberals."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
