It was in 2008 when the platform launched this tool and the company’s co-founder, Jack Dorsey, described it as the “evolution of morning information”because although before a person was aware of the most important news by reading the newspapers or watching the morning news, now the trends blog gave X users a glimpse of what was considered important at a given time.
With that first glance, the path was formed that allowed one to “explore” a certain topic of interest, not only seeing the opinions of others, but also participating in the conversation.
Currently it is possible to see trends or trending topics at a national and global level.
According to X’s page, the trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, they are personalized according to the accounts you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular at any given time, rather than those that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the latest ones being discussed.
Trending topics have also become an amplifier of citizen complaints in the world, such as the #MeToo or #BlackLivesMatter movements.
