How to Find If Something Trends on Twitter This Week
Social media utility Twitter allows a user to communicate with his network of "followers" using short messages known as "tweets." In spite of its succinct content, Twitter is fully searchable, something it accomplishes partially because of words and phrases users place behind "hashtags," which identify the main topic contained within a tweet. Browse Twitter's list of "Trending Topics" to see the most talked-about topics on Twitter this week.
