http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/tweetmygamingtrend.jpgTweetMyGaming (http://tweetmygaming.com/) is a site started up by our friends over at gamerDNA (http://www.gamerdna.com/) (they routinely contribute to our sister site Massively (http://www.wow.com/2008/12/30/massively-and-gamerdna-chart-the-mmo-market-in-2008/), including sharing some great information on WoW's demographics (http://www.wow.com/2009/01/14/gamerdna-and-massively-explore-death-knight-demographics/)), and while the site is designed to track all mentions of video games on Twitter (http://twitter.com), one game has more or less dominated the discussion since the site debuted about a month ago. Well, actually, it was The Sims 3 (http://tweetmygaming.com/game/the-sims-3/) -- apparently as big as World of Warcraft is, it still can't stop EA's Sims series for sheer popularity (or top the series in sales (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims)). But still, WoW is sitting at a respectable number two in tweets, and watching the feed go by (http://tweetmygaming.com/game/world-of-warcraft/) over on the game's page lets you in on all the different slices of the game's community, from the hardcore raiders to the folks just trying to grab some time to play.
Of course, all of the values on the site are constantly changing, and we're sure they're still tweaking the formula of how games move up and down the list -- The Sims 3 is coming hot off of its release a few weeks ago, and while WoW has a vibrant twitter community for sure, the news about mounts (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/10/upcoming-mount-changes/) and the new patch 3.2 information (http://www.wow.com/tag/patch-3.2/) last week probably helped keep it up on the radar (just wait and see what happens over BlizzCon -- I wouldn't be surprised to see WoW-related topics trending over Twitter (http://search.twitter.com/) at large).
But WoW is definitely a game that people talk about no matter what's in the news lately. Interesting, but not surprising, that it's holding its own even among the trendiest games on Twitter.Filed under: Analysis / Opinion (http://www.wow.com/category/analysis-opinion/), Fan stuff (http://www.wow.com/category/fan-stuff/), Virtual selves (http://www.wow.com/category/virtual-selves/), Odds and ends (http://www.wow.com/category/odds-and-ends/)
