In accordance with the weekly Music Monday trend, Twitter users are posting the name of their most-loved songs of the moment or are attaching links to their favorite band's websites.

"Google" is often a popular talking point for microbloggers using Twitter and at 8:30 AM on the morning of October 26 it has risen to the second spot on Twitter's list of most talked about topics.

This morning people are discussing the various updates Google has made to its services during the last week.
