Twitter Search: Well, Sort Of
April 9, 2015
I read “Updating Trends on Mobile.” I am more interested in more detailed information about Twitter content, users, and tags. General purpose or massified outputs are of little utility in my little world.

If you navigate to the Twitter search page and enter a string like “enterprise search”, you will see variants of the term or phrase expressed as Twitter hash tags. The trends displayed were reflective of what Twitter’s log suggest is hot. Here’s an example:
How many of these trends do you recognize. I knew about iOS 8.3, Apple Watch, and not much else.
