It's definitely not going to be based on sheer volume, but rather
delta based on some averages. You need to filter out natural language
too, as that can be all over the place. Although it's a different (and
also secret) algorithm, take a look at http://twitscoop.com and watch
their trend cloud cha
I am doing research on Twitter trends and defining them in general, in
order to develop better algorithms. So this is very timely and
instead of starting a new thread, perhaps we can expand it a bit.
There's quite a few services doing twitter trends already, and most
are doing it with a simple p
It's pretty simple, but with a few twists.
First of all, remember that everything that Twitter does is done with
simplicity and efficiency in mind.
For the most part its just a frequency count of words over a short
time period, minus stop words, filtering out usernames (notice @foo is

I wouldn't expect an answer to that. I'd bet
it's MAGIC!
