Of course, by "expert" I mean "random Yahoo! lady," by "hot new trends for 2012" I mean "things we've all been using since 2009," by "location-based apps" I mean "Grindr" and by "relationships" I mean "hookups."

I almost forgot! And lastly, by "nothing" I mean "Oh dear god please don't let me slip up and say anything that would indicate I know what she's talking about I swear I only did it that one time at EBloc because I was bored and Ben told me I should be less uptight so I figured hey why not just download it quickly just to see if there are any guys on it in the bar because that would be a funny story to tell later on but then that one latino twink kept sending me messages and honestly the details aren't really important but long story short I deleted it the next morning and have only downloaded it again like three times since then."

In the first week of the Occupy Wall Street protests, many became disenchanted by the lack of a cohesive message. This sentiment, paired with a dramatic slump in # of tweets per hour caused some, including myself, to ask if Occupy Wall Street was running out of steam.

But on Day 8, targeted civil disobedience in the form of marching on Union Square led to 100 arrests and revealed the NYPD's heavy-handed use of violence. This not only increased media attention, but helped to revive the volume of #occupywallstreet on Twitter.

Although Day 9 saw a considerable drop from the day before the rest of the week sustained higher average levels than the week prior.

By the third saturday of the protests, #occupywallstreet reached a new peak height while over 700 people were arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Although Wednesday the 5th saw the largest turnout with over 20,000 labor union members showing up in solidarity, many were not active participants in social media and their presence was not clearly reflected on Twitter.

But given the pattern of ever-growing tweets each Saturday, the coming weekend could quite possibly have the biggest online footprint to date.

In terms of Google search queries for "Occupy Wall Street" thre has been little slow down at all. The massive numbers of arrests made on October 2nd-3rd raised public interest more than double, while the march of the 5th brought searches to even higher levels.

Overall, the movement is growing with each weekend. Even if most people are returning to work each week, many are dedicating their free time to showing their solidarity and support.
