"Damn Japan" Trends on Twitter as World Reacts to Aftershocks

Global Twitter reactions to the 7.1 magnitude quake contain mostly "damn" and "Japan".

Twitter's trending topics are formulated on an algorythm that finds topics talked about most based on volumes of keywords used together in Tweets.

So as news broke of Japan's next quake, the microblogging site went balistic with reactions from the public.

Although painting a grim picture, "Damn Japan" is the result of many tweets along the lines of "Damn, why doesn't mother nature leave Japan alone!", or "Damn, another earthquake for Japan".
