iPad-Related Topics Dominate Twitter; iTampon Peaks at #3

As of the close of the business day, eight of the top ten terms trending on Twitter were related to the new Apple iPad. While the official name was number one, comparisons and complaints (such as the lack of flash support) peppered the list, while the brandjacked “iTampon” peaked at number three:

1) Apple iPad

2) #nowplaying

3) iTampon

4) #Apple

5) Haiti

6) iPhone

7) Kindle

8) Steve Jobs

9) Flash

10) iPod Touch

The immediacy of the iTampon meme makes one wonder if Apple anticipated, then discarded the concerns, or is too wedded to the “i” prefix to care.
