If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that tweeters love a good laugh. It’s no surprise then that the annual worldwide Prank-a-Palooza — April Fool’s Day — was top-of-mind in the Twitterverse this past week, and came in at number one on our chart. No doubt the antics of our favorite tech companies fueled the buzz, though Twitter users shared their own prank ideas with friends and colleagues as well.
Interestingly, the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, which aired on April 2, trumped both March Madness (number three) and the world of pro soccer (number six) to take second place this week. Surprising trends like this always lead us to wonder about the ever-shifting demographics of our beloved microblogging network.
To see the full list, check out the chart below, compiled by our friends at What the Trend. Because this is a topical list, hashtag memes and games have been omitted from the chart. The aggregate is based on Twitter’s own trending algorithm, and does not necessarily reflect raw tweet volume.
