Yesterday, some people had questions about Twitter trending topics and their volume. Here is an overnight chart of data from four of last night's topics, in percentage of total Tweets. (The remaining number of Tweets were pretty much about cats, how annoying housecleaning is, Joss Whedon and things people wrote on the Huffington Beast.)

Thanks for the update. It's mighty white of you.
Dobbs is at least the appropriate color.
Needs more thought/nuance!
Just FYI, it's not just late night when you get "black people twitter," "urban twitter," or whatever the hell you want to call it. It's 1 pm right now and the top trending topics are #donttrytoholla http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23donttrytoholla and #wecoolandallbut http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23wecoolandallbut
Thanks for blogging about that, I've been staring at those trending topics trying to figure them out for months.
wow that graph is more than just a picture! how hi-tech!
