Twitter will now explain to you why something is trending

Twitter trends: Twitter to explain trends! Microblogging site Twitter recently put out a statement saying that while trends often show what people all over the world are talking about, often Twitter users are left confused as to why a particular topic is trending. In its statement, Twitter said that over the last year, the question “why is this trending?” was tweeted over 5 lakh times. Twitter said that it felt that users should be able to understand the trends easily and thus, the company has decided to add pinned tweets as well as descriptions on the trends so that users can have a better understanding of why something is trending.

While the representative tweets, as the company calls it, will be available to explain the trends on the Twitter app of iOS and Android as of now, Twitter is hoping to bring the feature to its website soon.
