Although X has been called SMS from the internet for its messages that allow a maximum of 280 characters (originally 140 characters), this is not the only thing that is attributed to the success of the social network, but also the trends.
It was in 2008 when the platform launched this tool and company co-founder Jack Dorsey described it as the “evolution of morning news”because while before a person was informed of the most important news by reading the newspapers or watching morning news, now the trends blog gave users of X a look at what was considered important at a given time.
With that first glance, the path was also formed that allowed one to “explore” a certain topic of interest, not only by seeing the opinions of others, but also by participating in the conversation.
Nowadays it is possible to see trends or trending topics at national and global level.
According to X’s page, the trends are determined by an algorithm and by default, they are personalized based on the accounts you follow, your interests, and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are popular at a given moment, rather than those that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the most recent topics being discussed.
Trending topics have also become an amplifier of citizen complaints around the world, such as the #MeToo or #BlackLivesMatter movements.
