What are the hottest topics on Twitter, YouTube and social media sites this Christmas Eve? While “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” are trending high, a full 0.83% of Tweets at 5pm ET tonight mentioned the word “Pope”.
Pope Benedict was unfortunately knocked down by a woman before the Christmas Eve mass – he was unhurt, and completed the ceremony. Of course, we can rely on user-generated content to capture such remarkable events: in this case a bystander with a cellphone caught the moment on film while the TV cameras were pointed elsewhere.
It’s only the latest in a string of events – from the Hudson plane crash early this year, to the passing of Neda in IranIran Iran – where people on the ground captured shocking moments the media would otherwise have missed.
