Ever wondered why a topic is trending on Twitter? A new service – that does heaps more besides – tells you. Brizzly.com:
Brizzly - blue box shows trending topics and why
Hat tip: Keith Don who tweeted an invite link. I got one. You didn’t. Life sucks doesn’t it? Heh.
You wouldn’t use Brizzly just to find out about trending topics and why they are trending – you’d probably want to migrate across your social network activity to their dashboard, and there are plenty of other dashboards around. I simply found the option to click WHY? a unique one. So far at least.
You back again? o.O Oh well, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, follow me on Twitter SilkCharm or get these blog posts in email when you want Good to see you again, feel free to leave a nice comment on a Featured Post :) !
Hey Laurel,
This looks interesting, thanks for the heads up. I’m curious how it will deal with hashtag spam. You know, when Twitter spammers load their tweets with multiple hashtags and no content. Or they hashtag a Trending Topic and include irrelevant crap in the tweet.
I blogged about this problem recently. Here’s the URL.

BTW do you know where I can get an invite code for Brizzly?
