Twitter index: Former French first lady Danielle Mitterrand dies

Danielle Mitterrand, the widow of former French president François Mitterand, died during the night aged 87, report Twitter users on the morning of November 22.

The microblog is also filling with complaints about “corporate head hunter” Dr. Heather McGregor and her comments about executive pay on BBC’s Radio 4 morning news and current affairs program, Today.

“I had to check it wasn't April 1 when I heard Dr Heather McGregor on #r4today. Do such dinosaurs survive?,” “If you don't like high #executivepay, 'move to Cuba' says corporate head hunter Dr Heather McGregor” and “watching people trying to justify 7 FIGURE salaries on #bbcbreakfast angers, saddens me & leaves me wondering what state this world is in :(," post microbloggers using the “#r4today” and “#bbcbreakfast” hashtags.

On Tuesday people are celebrating the feast day of Saint Cecilia, (“Santa Cecilia” in Spanish) the patron saint of music, on Twitter.

The VH1 rock documentary “Behind the Music” starring Mary J. Blige is in seventh place, and the American comedy TV series “Everybody Hates Chris” and “Salute Your Shorts” are in sixth and ninth places.
