Computerworld – Taking another page from social rival Twitter, Facebook is launching a new Trending feature that will show users the most popular topics being discussed on the social network.
The feature, which begins rolling out to users today, will list a series of topics that are spiking in popularity on Facebook. The list will appear in the top right of users’ news feeds.
Trending is yet another move in Facebook’s plan to supplant Twitter as the social network people rush to when something of high interest — like the Golden Globe awards, a natural disaster or a significant crime – is happening.
