What is qanda? As we scrolled through the tweets the conversation topics went from gay rights to Christopher Hitchens and religion to a graduates special issue… wait what? We thought qanda was a term relating to atheists or gay rights… where did this graduates issue come in? Then we stumbled upon this tweet….

Maybe we didn’t think it meant something “sick”, but we thought it meant something. Twitter’s unusual topics such as #MoneyAintAThang, evoke elaborate fantasies that make us believe there are hidden meanings all over Twitter. Sorry to say folks, qanda is just q and a. Deal with it.
This all stems from ABC Australia. At 9:30 pm October 1, 2009 there was a Q&A panel discussion live from their TV studio including Anne Henderson, Sally Warhaft, Father Frank Brennan, Waleed Aly, and Christopher Hitchens. The show tweets out announcements on its Twitter page with 1,224 followers. The show sparked strong reactions throughout the Twitter Community which is why around 8:30 am CST Anne Henderson also became a trending topic.

#why? Why not! It seems that people think other people are listening and what that calls for is a lot of why this and why that tweets, not necessarily conversation. We've been following this trending topic for quite some time and have found tweets ranging from "Why do women stay with evil men who hate them?" to Why am I waking up with someone's elbow in my face." The major state of mind was just the need to tell people why; almost like pleas for change or a call-to-action. There also seemed to be the need to just rant about anything that came to mind. See what we mean?
Might I add that I agree with this guy's Twitter bio...

#why can't be better spelled out than by visiting here. Ladies and gents-- why is just why and can be multi-interpreted. No wonder #why this has been trending all day.
