The 2010 World Cup: a Global Conversation

To highlight how much Twitter has been pulsing with World Cup activity over the past month, our analytics and relevance teams put together the infographic above, charting fans’ use of hashflags (like #esp or #usa) during the tournament with a background of TPS over the same period.

• When you look at this graphic, think of it like a soundwave — the louder and more consistent the “sound,” the bigger the impact in all directions.

• Countries’ flags represent use of their hashflag. The size of the flag “waves” fluctuate with the frequency & consistency of tweets containing each country’s hashflag.

Reina, our analog director, explains to Kevin why women watch the world cup.

tinta-y-papel:

After my very assertive comment, Kevin quickly sent me a message asking if there was proof that backed up my statement.

Of course, there was none.

But as an avid doodler, I created the proof myself. 

Why Women Watch the World Cup

- National pride

- Nothing else on TV

- Bonding time with significant other

- Loves/plays/enjoys the game

And, the most obvious reason why women watch the World Cup

- Sexy Algerian men and their butts

Note: Research done under 2 minutes. Only the opinion of one woman was taken into account. This woman, though, is a butt connoisseur.
