Twitter trends are popular words or hashtags used by Twitter users at a particular time. Twitter uses a special algorithm that is not revealed to us yet to monitor hot topics in real time. You can view what’s trending in your community on your own Twitter home page where Twitter sheds a light on the hottest topics around you based on your location and the people you follow.
