The presence of Twitter makes it easier than ever to see what people are talking about.
Want to see
what fans are thinking after a big loss? Done. How about
the finale of I'm a Celebrity? You can see that too.
Every year,
Twitter put together their #YearOnTwitter list of their top ten tweets for the year that show what people have been talking about. This year the list includes musings on everything from the recent Paris attacks to Ireland's same-sex marriage referendum to trying to figure out what colour that bloody dress was.
Here are the ten tweets that best describe 2015, as hand-picked by Twitter themselves.
