I really enjoy watching the trending topics. The weekends are especially interesting because Twitter traffic is down overall and it doesn't take much to get on there. Whatever football teams are playing allways make it on (too bad the NFL doesn't want to play nice with social media).
Besides football there were some interesting trends:
T-Mobile had some sidekick data issues (hence the mayhem) getting T- Mobile users up in arms (disclosure T-Mobile is a client)
Zombieland is either getting a lot of hype or a lot of spam.
Mashable seems to have figured out Twitter or how game the spam. Women Rule and Leo Laporte are both Mashable posts.
#ldsconf is because of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints General Conference (hence the Mormon and disclosure, I'm a member).
Of interest and something I couldn't think of an M for was several trending topics were from other countries. Usually the US dominates the trends.
