The Global Language Monitor has counted up the number of times certain key words have been used this year...


...in the print and digital media around the world this year, and vampire is number 5!

The new president of the U.S.A., Barack Obama, came in at number 2!

Swine flu's virus, H1N1, was number 3 and Twitter won the top word of 2009 award! Are you following our Twitter page yet? Click here if not!

So, vampire reigns in 2009 (we think our new Twilight channel helped!). With True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and The Twilight Saga all running into next year, do you think "vampire" could hit the top spot next year and be the word of the year?!
