Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Twitter trend mean?

A Twitter trend refers to a hashtag or subject that quickly gains considerable attention in a specific region. The exact algorithm Twitter uses to identify trends is undisclosed, but it appears to primarily focus on the volume of new audience participating in a conversation.

Is a trend simply a popular subject?

Not exactly. A topic ceases to be a trend on Twitter when it stops attracting new attention, even if it still has a substantial audience.

Why am I unable to find a specific trend here, despite seeing it trending on Twitter or elsewhere?

There could be several explanations for this:

• Due to compliance reasons, we only gather trend data once an hour, so we may have missed it during our last check. If the trend persists, we are likely to capture it in our next update. If not, it may never appear in our records.
• We utilize the Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) to obtain data. Sometimes, the list of trends Twitter provides us differs from or is shorter than what users might see in the app.

Why is there no data available for my country or city?

Our trend data collection and processing are entirely dependent on Twitter. We strive to gather information for as many locations as practically possible, but Twitter may not provide data for some regions.

How do you identify the longest trending hashtags?

We calculate the total days a hashtag has appeared as trending. A hashtag is considered trending for a specific day if it was trending at least once when we checked that day.

How do you determine the most tweeted hashtags?

We identify the highest tweet count provided by Twitter for each trend every time we check. This figure represents the total number of global tweets in the previous 24 hours.
