The past year has been a busy one for San Diego Rostra and its bloggers. The political web site saw as many as 19,000 unique monthly visitors in 2011 — a big number for a 1 1/2 year-old site with no paid staff. Many of the posts that came from Rostra’s impressive bullpen of Rostrafarians spread far and fast thanks to Twitter and Facebook.

The posts that generated the most buzz this year were interesting and varied. One broke news. Another poked fun at politicians. Some were prickly. The one thing they all had in common — they were popular with the Twitter set.

Here are the 10 most tweeted Rostra posts in 2011:

I’m delighted to see myself tied for first place with Councilmember DeMaio. Not that I am competitive or anything…

Thanks for putting the list together, Tony, and the names, Jim.
