Twitter trends: the best links
There are various websites that provide information about current Twitter trends. With Trendsmap, WhatTheTrend and our in-house Twitter trends, we are introducing you to three popular providers - so that you know what is tweeted most about the world at the moment.
1. Trendsmap: Popular tweets in real time
Trendsmap visualizes the current Twitter trends in real time on a world map. The larger a trend is shown on the map, the more people tweet about it in the corresponding region.
- The tool also shows local trends when you zoom in closer to the world map. The service is - with a limited range of functions, but absolutely sufficient for private use - free of charge.
- If you want to use trend maps for journalistic purposes, you have to pay $ 19 per month. Among other things, you get access to the trends of the past seven days and can filter out certain hashtags.
2. WhatTheTrend defines the trends
On WhatTheTrend you can see what is currently tweeted most worldwide.
- The special thing about it is that users can comment on the trends. In this way, unknown trends can also be classified thematically, for example, if regional phenomena are involved.
- Use of the site is free of charge, you only need to log in to the site with your Twitter account to write explanations.
3. Personalized trends on Twitter
Twitter also provides an overview of current trends. However, it uses your current location and the tweets you send to show personalized trends. Not many trends are shown either. Twitter's own function is therefore only of limited suitability for professional use.
If you want to find specific tweets and people on Twitter, there are also different options. Here you will find a selection of useful Twitter search engines.
