#TrumpWon? trend vs. reality
- mtgx 10y ago> Why is everyone so obsessed with this hashtag and the fact that it was in Twitter’s trending topics list the morning after the first presidential debate? Probably just surprised that Twitter even allowed it. If Twitter wasn't in the middle of trying to sell itself off, it would've probably been censored. But now that the acquisition is off the table, don't expect to see such hashtags again after the second debate.
- pedalpete 10y agoI'm not that familiar with trending hashtags on Twitter. It says the first hashtag was 6am Eastern Time. That's mid-day in Europe. I'd suggest this is planned. It was picked up by a few American cities (NY, Philly, DC) before it hit big in the UK. It was almost an hour later that it started picking up in other American cities around 7am for Boston, Charlotte, Chicago and Cleveland.
