The Irish east coast might not have received the 25cm (10″) of snow predicted on Monday but the blizzard conditions are still occupying the minds of Irish tweeters – or at least those in the nation’s capital.
Trendsmap, a web app that mixes Twitter updates and Google maps, shows that people in Dublin and Leinster are tweeting most about Irelands frosty weather (#snowball) while Cork and Connacht tweeters, who have escaped the worst of the weather, are discussing the political situation in the country (#dermot).
Northern Irish tweeters are equally interested in the weather, although this year’s X-Factor (#Olly) is occupying the thoughts of many of Ulster’s Twitter users.
Discussions of the weather in England and Scotland are tempered with today’s student protests in London (#demo2010), although there is little reference to #cablegate, Wikileaks controversial release of over half a million US diplomatic cables.
