Twitters year in review highlights top tweets and trends of 2013

Just as it does every year, Twitter has unveiled the top tweets of 2013, highlighting the years trends on the bite-sized social network.


Twitter began the "Year on Twitter" trend in 2010, and since then its format has gotten snazzier and snazzier.

This years categories are less vague than 2012s, with top 2013 tweets divided into news, entertainment, sports and "showcase," a publishing partner-picked selection of the best tweets of the year.

But the best category is undoubtedly the one that simply reads "#2013," as it highlights the major events of the last year month-by-month - in tweet form, of course.

Tweet tweet

Twitters 2013 year in review features hundreds of tweets covering everything from Jon Stewarts jabs at Microsoft to humble brags from Nascar super stars.

The sports section is divided by sport, and the news section by category. Politics and big science stories are all covered, as well as "human interest" tweets like a marriage proposal and a lost dog returned home.

The entertainment category is divided into music, TV, movies, and pop culture. No video games or tech? Even with the launch of the Xbox One and PS4?

At least theres plenty of Breaking Bad love in there.

Golden tweets

Its fun to go through the #2013 category and check out the years events month by month. What was your favorite thing that happened this year? Chances are its in there, from #SFBatkid to the NHL Stanley Cup.

The Golden Tweets section features the most re-tweeted messages of the year, and its full of heavy hitters as well, including celebrity deaths like Cory Monteith and Paul Walker.

The tweets in this section garnered hundreds of thousands of re-tweets each.

"This years most-retweeted Tweets showed the world coming together to share in loss, love, and celebration," Twitter wrote in the review.

Theres plenty to explore in Twitter 2013 showcase, but dont lose too much time combing through the past - the years not over yet, and youve probably got work to do still.
