Twitter rolled out 2012.twitter.com, a website that presents an overview of all the moments and people that made a big impact on Twitter this year. Barack Obama’s “Four more years” tweet for example generated the most retweets this 2012.

People from all over the world use Twitter on a daily basis to share ideas and photos, retweet news and important posts, start conversations with hashtags, and more. As the year comes to an end, the Twitter team looks back at the tweets, moments, and people who made a big splash on Twitter this 2012.

The 2012.twitter.com website that recently went live, lists the tweets that generated retweets, the most significant trends of the year, and more. Visit 2012.twitter.com and you will see that it has the following categories to offer:
  • Golden Tweets – here you will see the tweets that generated the most retweets this year.
  • Pulse of the planet – here you will see the biggest conversations that started around single events.
  • Only on Twitter – here you will see tweets “came to life organically on Twitter.”
  • Trends – here you will see the top trends that captured the public’s attention in 2012.
  • New Voices – here you will see a list of high-profile Twitter users who joined in 2012.
  • Your Year on Twitter – if you want to see a page built from your 2012 tweets, Twitter partnered with Vizify to be able to give you easy access to such a feature.
And speaking about partnerships, it must be mentioned that by entering a partnership with Aviary, Twitter added the option to edit images before sharing them with Twitter for Android/iOS. Thanks to the functionality provided by Aviary’s customizable photo editor, Twitter for Android and iOS users can now add filters, crop, and automatically enhance photos before sharing them.
