O.J. Simpson Isn’t The Only O.J. Buzzing On Twitter (And No, It’s Not O.J. Mayo)
Written by Chris Crum
  • OJ Simpson is plastered all over the news media as he appears back in court. The ex-NFL player turned actor, turned murder suspect, is seeking to have a robbery conviction thrown out.

    Heading to Twitter to see what people were saying about it, I searched for “OJ” on Twitter expecting a flood of commentary about the ordeal. To my surprise, there seems to be about as many people talking about orange juice as there are O.J. Simpson (though there are a lot of “who cares about OJ Simpson?” kinds of tweets coming out).

    You can be certain, however, that a lot of people still care about Orange Juice. Good news for orange farmers.

    I’m not sure if this one is about juice or about Simpson:

    Sure, people talking about orange juice on Twitter is not the most interesting thing in the world, but it’s mildly interesting to see how rapidly tweets can roll in about any random topics – not just trending topics. Note how close together these orange juice tweets are, and they only make a small sample. It really illustrates just how much of a pulse Twitter really has on what people are saying and doing all over the world. I mean, just look at what it’s been able to do to map the use of hateful words across the U.S.
