In first place on Twitter's most talked about topics on the morning of December 3 is the promoted term, "#KSwissandKPowers."

"#2010disappointments" is in second place as microbloggers are sharing the things that disappointed them in 2010. 2010's disappointing moments according to Twitter users include "new twitter. I'm not impressed," "the new iTunes icon," "teenage pregnancy," "the economy" and "television."

"#tourstories," "#lebron" and "??????" are new in third, fourth and fifth places on the chart while "Hanukkah," the eight-day Jewish holiday, remains unchanged in sixth place.

America's "Arizona State" football club is in seventh place after a match against rival team Arizona, the name of American basketball player "Monta Ellis" is in eighth place and the name of American football player "Michael Vick" is in ninth place.

The name of WikiLeaks founder "Julian Assange" is spreading across the Twittersphere as the Swedish authorities issue a new warrant for his arrest.

"Sarah Palin says Julian Assange should be hunted down like Bin Laden. So he should be safe for at least a decade" and "Julian Assange has the same air of mystery as the scientist guy from the Monorail episode [of The Simpsons]. He even stopped for a haircut" joke Twitter users.
