2013 – The Year on Twitter

It is that time of the year again. Every social media site will be sharing the big stories that happened in 2013 on their respective platforms and Twitter is no different!

Twitter has unveiled the 2013 year-in-review pane. The tweets are divided into categories as #2013, #news, #entertainment, #sports and #showcase. The best category is undoubtedly #2013 as it highlights the major events of the year month-by-month and in tweet form, of course!



It is fun to go through the #2013 section and check out the year’s events. The section also features Golden Tweets section which according to Twitter is “this year's most re-tweeted Tweets showed the world coming together to share in loss, love, and celebration.” The Golden Tweet award of 2013 goes to Lea Michele, who on July 29th tweeted a photo of herself and late Glee co-star Cory Monteith. Monteith was found dead on July 13th in a Vancouver hotel room from a heroin/alcohol overdose. Michele’s tweet was shared 408,266 times as fans around the world mourned with her. One of the two runner-ups is the statement from Paul Walker’s staff announcing the news of the tragic death of the actor:


"It's with a heavy heart that we must confirm Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident," read the tweet from @RealPaulWalker.

It was re-tweeted over 400,367 times and the second runner-up is One Direction band member Niall Horan rejoicing in having just turned 20 years old:
"Yesss ! I'm 20 ! Wohooo ! No more teens!" Horan chimed at the Twitter account @NiallOfficial.

There's plenty to explore in Twitter 2013 showcase, but don't lose too much time combing through the past - the year's not over yet, and you've probably got work to do still!
