Facebook has tracked the top status trends in the year of 2009. Near the top, "Farmville" and"FML". And for some mysterious reason the word "yard" is being used twice as much in status updates this year than last year:
"This is a trend that nobody would have guessed. The word "yard" seems fairly uncommon, and indeed it barely breaches a rate of five mentions in every 10,000 status updates. When we compare 2009 to 2008, however, we see a huge increase. Have all the hipsters turned to yard work as the latest fad? Probably not. A more likely explanation is that hipsters' moms and dads are also on Facebook, and these folks have yards that require some tending."
