My wife told me about the solar flares arriving today. If it’s on my wife’s mind, I bet it will be on yours. This is how topics trend on social media like Twitter: as #solarflares.

Jeff Brown Social Media Speaker Halifax DartmouthTake Twitter for example. You notice the trending topics and wonder what that’s all about. Simply put, it ‘s what everyone is talking about on Twitter right now. Trending topics are things people are talking about right now or what they are currently using the most in their tweets.

This is where the people are camping out at; if you want to think of it that way. Would you like to get into discussions that a lot of people are looking at and participating in? Then start tweeting into a topic that is trending on Twitter.

A simple warning for you though: don’t try to spam a trending topic with your business offers and sales. The peeps won’t like that. But it is a good way to make great connections and contacts. Trending topics could put you on some one’s radar. And that could be good for your business.

So what’s our walk away for today? Take a look at the trending Twitter topics and see if there any any topics you are interested in. Join in on the conversation and see what you can make happen. Share your thoughts and retweet others there. It could make a world of difference for your visibility.
