According to the data, the most widely mentioned topic in status updates pertained to ‘Facebook Applications.’ This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise considering that the ‘FarmVille’ game alone has attracted almost 70 million players.

Some other notable status issues of the previous year were the spate of celebrity deaths, the swine flu, and health care. The list does include a few somewhat surprising twists, though. While brain-dead, eye-candy pop stars seemingly dominate the U.S. media, art school celeb Lady Gaga was the only celebrity to receive a specific mention. And, even though the anti-social networking crowd frequently decries Facebook and Twitter members for being shallow and narcissistic, ‘Family’ came in 5th, while “I” only came in 15th.
