How many tweets does it take to make it onto the Twitter Trending list?

Apparently about 100 per minute or so;


Tony Abbot ascended to leader of the liberal party on Tuesday after a Malcolm Turnbull was unceremoniously booted from the top spot. It was an upset victory, most expected Joe Hockey to come out on top, and the Australian twitterverse went a little crazy with the news, with tweets flying think and fast. At one point both the #spill hashtag and 'Tony Abbott' making it to the Twitter's fabled trending topics.

But how much excitement to you need to make something trend on Twitter?

Interesting..... so if 100 of you post "I Love http://www.livefootballchat.com/" in the next 60 seconds we can make it onto the trending list :)


Cheers,
