Twitter Now More Popular Than Britney Spears

Whoops.  What happened, Britney Spears?  You were one of the most popular search terms of 2008, and now Twitter is more popular than you.

Twitter has surpassed "Britney", and has even caught up to "Obama" according to Google Trends...

Twitter, though, is still getting pwned by Facebook as far as traffic and search frequency is concerned. In fact, according to Google Trends, the keyword “facebook” is 81 times hotter than “twitter.” In terms of news references, however, the two are much closer.

Can Britney make a comeback? Only time will tell...
