Hot trends on Twitter appear on the search page and on the twitter homepage, and clicking any will bring up a feed of the public conversation. Of course, there are a wide variety of web apps that can help people see trends on Twitter. Ex: airplane crash in the US, death of Michael Jackson, etc.

The hashtag is a favorite tool of conferences and event organizers, because if we append a certain hashtag to an event, it becomes easier to find that in search, and more likely the topic will be hot. Ex: #leweb08 for the big Internet Event “Le Web Paris 2008”
