Does seem rather dubious

#Occupywallstreet trends everywhere in the world except the United States? Seems rather unlikely. (via the Great Orange Satan)

So Twittertrends only measures the first and second derivatives. Ah, it all makes sense now. Natch, natch, know what I mean, say no more.

GOS has backed off.

Turns out Twittertrends measures change and not volume. If a topic has a high pre-existing volume then it will score below a topic which goes from zero to something.

In other words: StonyPillow - snark. It really is about the derivatives.

Otherwise the 'trend' would be Ashton and Gaga every fucking day.
