The Torch

Our ramblings about marketing and web development – What's new and exciting this week

Whitey BulgerIf you’re just waking up, you are in for some big news! First off, The Torch should not be your source of news first thing in the morning, but thanks for your dedication. Secondly, the famed Boston mobster who ruled the Southie streets, James “Whitey” Bulger, was finally captured overnight in California. After more than 15 years of hiding, being aided by the very same government agency that was trying to find him (see: John Connolly), and living through newspaper headlines and even Hollywood films, the infamous Irish legend has been taken down.

What better way to commemorate the occasion than by bringing you our Top Trending Topic Tweets surrounding the #Tag #WhiteyBulger?!
