@lordmwesh, thanx for the data. like i said - am a newbie on twitter so i wouldnt know...but maybe if we had a tool to do the analysis we perhaps will find that Wangari Maathai's trend was the most trendiest of them all ;-) walu. nb: something for the software engineers to develop maybe (if not yet developed). --- On Mon, 9/26/11, lordmwesh <lordmwesh@gmail.com> wrote: From: lordmwesh <lordmwesh@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [kictanet] e-Tribute to Maathai Wangare To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Date: Monday, September 26, 2011, 6:45 PM Walu, Many Kenya's have trended on twitter including #Rudisha when he won the 800 meters event in the world championships, Raila Odinga during the promulgation of the new constitution, during the release of KCSE in 2010 with #KCPE2010 trending, athlete Samuel Wanjiru after his death, and yesterday 25th September Kenya’s Patrick Makau was trending and Conquered the twitter Social Media After the Berlin Marathon Record e.t.c This are just the few worldwide trends I have observed. Probably others have seen more trends. On 26 September 2011 18:08, Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com> wrote: Just checked on Twitter. Wangare Maathai is currently "trending". Ave not been on twitter for too long but I have never seen any other Kenyan trend on twitter. This just shows how International this our heroine of ours was and yet @ home she was barely heard of/listened to. How tragic that history repeats itself - in that Prophets are rarely acknowledged at home. walu. _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/lordmwesh%40gmail.com The Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) is a multi-stakeholder platform for people and institutions interested and involved in ICT policy and regulation.
