Twist shows monthly and historical Twitter trends
by dbasch — 2 Comments »We have been keeping track of the public Twitter timeline for a few months now. Until a few days all Twist showed was a 7-day window, but now you can select monthly and historical trends. For example, it seems that in late April people start talking more about the summer than about the spring:
Also, you can see weekly patterns. Check out how weekend is mentioned more around Labor Day Weekend.
Stay tuned for more updates. As always, any feedback is welcome!
I really like the ability to compare trends. I find it very useful.
Is there a way that I can isolate the trend by region, say find out what’s hot in LA or NYC?

We are working on it. For now there is barely enough traffic on Twitter to be able to see trends for the most discussed concepts. As Twitter usage grows, we will be able to show stats for the cities where Twitter is the most popular.
