Twitter Trends & a Tip
My favorite aspect of Twitter has long been the personal immediacy—seeing what's happening in my world right now. The trending topics found on search.twitter.com now make this possible on a global scale. Yes, newspapers, news sites, Google trends, and my personal favorite, The Economist, all give me a sense of what has been happening in the world lately.
However, none of these sources match the velocity and focus provided by Twitter. At a glance I'm able to see what the world considers important in this moment, which lights a path to explore what matters to me. The trending box in the sidebar makes a great dashboard widget for Mac users. At the press of a button, my day starts with a sense of what the world cares about. How do you use Twitter trends?

I really want the functionality to get alerted when a new word is trending. (I suggested this a while back to @abdur, but summize, at the time, had better features to add) Maybe from an account like @twitter_trends?
What is happening in the world? I don't know. The US is not the world. That's the problem with those top topics. Counts are never adjusted for localised number of users. When you are not in the US, these trends have little or no meaning.
Could you please tell me what I might be doing wrong that I am unable to access www.twitter.com/ricksanchezcnn.
I wanted to post a comment that goes to him but I cant seem to find out what I need to do. My id is:2Gud2BTrue.

BTW: Why does twitter *hide* http://search.twitter.com from plain view? Acquire a cool app and stick it up in the attic?!? IMHO pretty strange
