britney_spears_femme_fatale.jpgIf you were too busy prepping your Super Bowl menu this week to take a break and check out what’s happening on Twitter, we’ve got you covered. We took a look at what was trending the most on Twitter this week and compiled a nice little list for you to peruse at your leisure. You don’t want to show up at work on Monday a week behind the news, do you?

Here are the top trending Twitter topics for the week ending on February 4:

  

1. Egypt Protests
There have been large-scale protests in Cairo’s “Freedom” Square calling for the end of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s dictatorship. Internet connections to Egypt were completely cut off, as well as complete telecommunications, and media blackout. Many journalists have been assaulted or detained. #Mubarak, #Jan25

2. February Wishes
People are tweeting what they wish for in the month of February. I’d say a lot of these wishes should be related to the above trend. #februarywish

3. Britney Spears / Femme Fatale 
No, it has nothing to do with the Velvet Underground song, Britney Spears announced the name of her new album, and it’s “Femme Fatale.” #FemmeFatale

Check out the rest of the list after the jump!
