Update 3: Twitter is now telling me that I am part of a beta test group for the retweet features, so I guess it is no longer on hold.
Those who are part of the test get the following message:
Google has released an extension of its Hot Trends feature, which brings some of its components to the results page when a user searches for one of the "hot trends." Now when a user's query matches one of the top 100 trends (or fastest-rising search terms), Google will show them a graph and further information about how popular the query is.
On Tuesday, we told you about the launch of Twitter's new homepage. The revamped design sports a sleek look that is pretty easy on the eye. But, once you get past the pleasing aesthetics, you'll also see that Twitter has added a search capability and popular topics, which in turn could mean an influx of Twitterers.
Just before lunch today, we told you about the Chicago based realty company who had filed a lawsuit against a former tenant for $50,000. News of the lawsuit spread quickly around the Internet, but when Horizon's Jeffrey Michael was quoted saying, "We're a sue first, ask questions later kind of an organization" things reached a boiling point on Twitter.
Michael Jackson, one of the biggest music icons of all time, has passed away .
The death of the Michael Jackson is hitting Twitterers especially hard. Take a look at the screen shot below, 9 out of the 10 trending topics deal with some aspect his death.
Despite Twitter's rapidly growing popularity, the service is quite known for downtime, and random bugs. In fact, the Twitter Status Blog usually does its best to keep the public informed about known bugs, but I have not seen mention of this yet.
While taking a look at the top trending topics on Twitter this morning, one of them (#inappropriatemovies)is giving me "no results" when I click on it. How can it be a trending topic if there are no results?
