Twitter users are sharing their best and worst memories from 2010 on the morning of December 28 with the hashtag "#2010memories."

"#2010memories" moves up two positions to number, while "#iprefer" and "#imjustsayin" both move down one place overnight to second and third places respectively.

Santos "Inocentes" ("Holy Innocents" in English), the name of a Spanish April Fools-like festival celebrated on December 28, is in fourth place.

The name of recently deceased R&B singer "Teena Marie" is in fifth place and the name of Playboy founder Hugh "Hefner" is unchanged in sixth place.

Twitter users are using their 140 characters to post about which teams they think will make it through to the Super Bowl XLV in February 2011.

"Personally, I would love to see the Chiefs at the Superbowl. They've come so far this year; I think they've earned it," "My picks for the #superbowl Eagles and Patriots. What are yours?" and "i would lose my mind with joy if the #falcons and #patriots both made it to the #superbowl," tweet microbloggers.

"Gausah Follback," a term being used by Indonesian Twitter users to suggest new people to follow, is in eighth place, the name of Canadian professional ice hockey player Chris "Osgood" is in ninth place, and "Roddy" White, an American football player for the Atlanta Falcons, is in tenth place.
