With the April 29 wedding of William and Kate now looming large, the internet is increasingly awash with natter about the upcoming event.

Data from Bing suggests that news stories penned in reference to the event have increased to a hefty seven million per day, up from just one million per day at the beginning of the month.

Royal wedding related blog posts meanwhile have jumped from 46.7m at the start of the month to hit 102.9m.

YouTube hasn’t been spared the Royal fever either with the volume of videos posted with wedding associated tags leaping from 37.5k per day to 460k per day.

Twitter meanwhile has witnessed an explosion in tweets discussing the upcoming exchange of vows, with around 5,000 per hour being posted, a figure which has expanded rapidly in recent weeks.

Trendrr aver that these posts are largely positive with 46% of tweets speaking favourably of the couple with just 12% negative, the remainder being neutral.
