Twitter Trending and Link Sharing
By Mr. MundyNovember 22, 2011
What is a trending topic? “A trending topic is a word, phrase or topic that is posted (tweeted)
multiple times on the social networking and microblogging service Twitter.
Trending topics become popular either through a concerted effort by users or because of an event that prompts people to talk about one specific topic.
These topics help Twitter and their users to understand what is happening in the world.”
