A year in hashtags: What got you tweeting this year?

What were the top hashtags, trends and tweeted moments this year?

It is no surprise that half of Australia’s top ten most Tweeted about moments this year were sport-related.

These included tweets about Jack Viney’s successful appeal of his two week suspension, World Cup chatter in the build up to #AUSNED, Collingwood’s Nathan Brown’s dislocated shoulder, the 2014 Melbourne Cup and the Australia vs South Africa T20.

But the most tweeted about moment of 2014? The one-minute silence observed at 11am on 11 November – Remembrance Day. Who would have thought? (Although arguably, Tweeting during a one-minute silence is not the most respectful thing to do.) Here’s just one of the millions of tweets marking the occasion.

Blog.twitter.com shared three of the top “Only on Twitter” moments – things that could have only happened because of Twitter. This included the #putoutyourbats tribute to cricketer Phillip Hughes, seen by 125 million people worldwide.

But the best “Only on Twitter” moment had to have been when the Queen photobombed two Aussie hockey players at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
