Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 7, 2009 - 11:25am.

New York - Though it didn't come to the forefront until late last month, Swine Flu finished as the most blogged-about news topic in April, according to new figures from Internet audience measurement firm Nielsen Online.

The subject outdistanced Easter, Somali Pirates and the NFL Draft.

The firm called the rankings particularly telling, since it wasn't until April 24 that the World Health Organization issued its first Disease Outbreak Notice regarding the H1N1 virus.

The Democratic Party, Nuclear Weapons, Bea Arthur, Hugo Chavez, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Carrie Prejean rounded out the top 10.
