What in the World Do All These “Trends” Mean on Twitter?

From Jeremy Lichtenberger, Senior Brand Planner, Palio

I’m relatively new to Twitter, but I’m learning more and more about it every day. One thing that bothers me and, maybe you, is deciphering the “trends” list. It seems that words or phrases are trending but they mean nothing to me. Sure you can click on them and the “TwitScoop” will show you the actual tweets but then you still need to spend time reading and figuring out what is being tweeted and it’s often a waste of time.

The website “What The Trend” is a great resource for understanding what is trending and why.  The site also allows you to see what trends were tweeted for the previous week or predict a trend for the upcoming week. And if you are correct you could win a prize…which is nice.

Twank you for your twime!
