Not sure if this has been around for a bit and I've just been sleeping, but Twitter has now added brief summaries of trending topics. This morning when I clicked on to Twitter.com and saw "RIP Kanye West" in the trending topics, I didn't have to scan through 400 tweets to find out what was really happening.
It's a good idea and may help in putting a halt to some of the hysterics that the crowd on Twitter can generate just by seeing a topic over to the right. One click, and "Oh hey, Zach Braff isn't dead. Thanks Twitter!" Tags: Twitter | Social Media | Rumors | Hysteria | Crowdsourcing | Commiunication
