We can uncover a variety of patterns analyzing the data Techmeme has accumulated over the years, and given Techmeme’s pan-industry focus, these findings can signal large-scale trends developing across the tech industry.

One simple analysis is ranking terms by the percentage of Techmeme headlines in which they appeared. Results for the top 20 words from 2012 headlines appear in the table below. We only count headlines fully featured on Techmeme, which are also those tweeted by @Techmeme, and not those merely appearing beneath headlines in “More”. This table also excludes the 164 words most common to writing and general news (like “the” and “to”).
