2013 round-up report from the social media site shows rising use of Twitter as a second screening during TV viewing, as well as popularity of the platform for events and politics
TV shows and politics dominated the list of conversations Australian had on Twitter this year, according to the social media site’s 2013 round-up.
The Year on Twitter annual report found the Australian event that created the biggest spike in Twitter conversation this year was a TV moment, when Dami IM won Australian X Factor.
Overall, TV was found to be a significant conversation starter on the social network and reflected the rise of second screening across Australian consumers. Key shows were users shared real-time tweets were Big Brother, Q&A, The Voice, The Block, The Bachelor, the Logies and My Kitchen Rules.
Given the 2013 Federal Election, it’s no surprise to hear Twitter also reported a big year for politics, led by both Labor Party leadership spills, Kevin Rudd’s return as PM, and the announcement of the 2013 Election via Twitter. Leading the list of top trending topics in this area were #AusPol, #Spill, #AusVotes, #YouDecide9, and ‘Rudd’.
One of the emerging uses of Twitter in Australia is as a reporting service for breaking news and community engagement. Key events included the Brisbane floods, NSW bushfires and global events such as the chemical attacks in Syria and the tsunami in the Philippines.
Sport remains a favourite topic too, with popular hashtags including the #ashes test series, #NRLgf for the NRL grand final, #AFLgf for the AFL grand final and #AusOpen for the Australian tennis tournament.
Other sporting events to experience the highest growth on Twitter during 2013 were #origin, #ALeagueGF, #MelbourneCup, and #GoSocceroos. On the events side, the #royalbaby led the list, followed by #telethon7, ‘Happy New Year’ and ‘Christmas’. Top conversation starters on Twitter included #NowPlaying, #UnpopularOpinionNight, #MentionSomeoneBeautiful, #WhenIWakeUp, #ConfessionNight, and #TonyAbbottFilms.
The rise of TV shows and politics on Twitter’s topic list reflects a new report released by Facebook this week on the top areas of consumer and brand engagement on its social media site.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
