Not surprising!
Facebook released a list of the most commonly used words and themes in users’ status updates for 2009 and our precious Lady GaGa was mentioned so much that she got her own category!
“She was virtually unmentioned until November of 2008 and spiked in mentions of her name in September 2009,” said Facebook data scientist Lars Backstrom.
Facebook data scientist? How do you get that job?
Other big mentions for 2009 were the deaths of Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze and Billy Mays, the H1N1 virus and the Farmville application.
We think GaGa will keep it up in 2010!
