Trending Data

April 21, 2010 / No Comments

I like observing kooky Twitter as it develops to match what its users want, or claim they want. It fascinates me that something with so much activity around it hasn’t found a way to make any money yet, and yet they continue on their merry way. I just noticed this helpful obviously-human-curated development that they offer on their homepage: explanations behind trending topics.

UPDATE: Twitter is pulling the information from this user edited site What the Trend. Note: Seeing all Twitter trends clearly broken down is pretty weird, a bit like explaining a joke after everyone else laughed.

Hi! I live in Vermont with my husband Joe and our four daughters: 11, 9, 6, and 3.

Writing on this blog is fluid. In an effort to just keep going I try to publish things before they feel ready or perfect, and I often come back and edit them again, later on. Its primary purpose is a way to engage with others on topics that otherwise swirl about in my mind in a lonely way. I spend most of my time homeschooling and learning alongside the girls. I grew up in Michigan and was homeschooled with my six siblings until I went to high school. I believe in God; our family attends a Mennonite church.
