Tracking Twitter Trends

Twitter_homepage

For all of you Twitter addicts out there that want to track the latest buzz and trends that people are tweeting about, here are two ways you can do this.

The first is on the official Twitter site itself, just click on “Search” at the bottom of the page. The latest trends will be displayed and clicking on any of them will pull up the ongoing Twitter public conversation.

Method number two is via Twitturly, which tracks the most popular web links being posted by Twitter users and posts the top 100 of these on its home page.


Update (May 4, 2009)

Twitter.com has updated its site layout, with trends and search being displayed on the home page on the right hand side. Does make more sense really.

You may have heard about a little project called the Mars Phoenix Mission, but did you know our dear friend Mars Lander has a Twitter account? No, this doesn’t mean NASA managed to stuff a tiny, underpaid blogger in the lander to keep us updated on this very exciting project, but it’s great to see a big government space agency being in tune with the times.
