With so many hot topics this year, you had to have wondered which ones really got the world buzzing. Don’t bother thinking back, Facebook has done all the math in their Year in Review report.
It turns out the major clickers for the world included the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge which garnered about an astounding 17 Million videos which were viewed more than 10 billion times by more than 440 million people, and many sporting events like the World Cup, Premier League and Louis Van Gaal at Manchester United. Unfortunately there were no nude Kim Kardashian-West photos.
In tragic news, the death of Robin Williams and the Ebola outbreak made the list. And surprise, surprise, the most talked about game was Bubble Witch 2 Saga, with Candy Crush and Kim Kardashian: Hollywood racking up millions of players in a few weeks.
