2010 MTV VMA Twitter Tracker App
MTV launched an app, "MTV VMA Twitter Tracker" to keep track of all of the major tweets going on during the 2010 MTV VMAs. It is a web-based visual app that displays topics and tweets related to the awards. MTV has used something similar to this during their 2010 movie awards. They were successful using it then and decided to do something similar again, however this time it has a cleaner look and is easier to navigate. When you load it up you see the total count of VMA related tweets of top 4 topics: #vma, #ladygaga, #justinbieber, and #kanyewest. Vma had 535 tweets per minute, Lady Gaga had 133 tweets per minute, Justin Bieber had 108 tweets per minute, and Paramore had 93 tweets per minute. MTV is currently the most popular music website and use social media wisely to help users interact. I think it's great they did this app tracker so people can see what is going on and interact with MTV and other users. There were 1,304,357 tweets since 12:00 pm on 9/10.

wow this really puts into perspective how much twitter has blown up. MTV as well as businesses are really taking advantage of trending.
When I was watching the VMA's it was shocking to see how quickly those numbers were increasing every second. I really didn't see the whole Twitter obsession until then.
