Auteurs : Issa Annamoradnejad, Jafar Habibi
Résumé : In Twitter, a name, phrase, or topic that is mentioned at a greater rate than others is called a "trending topic" or simply "trend". Twitter trends list has a powerful ability to promote public events such as natural events, political scandals, market changes and other types of breaking news. Nevertheless, there have been very few works focused on the dynamics of these trending topics. In this article, we thoroughly examined the Twitter's trending topics of 2018. To this end, we automatically accessed Twitter's trends API and stored the resulting 50 top trending topics in a novel dataset. We propose and analyze our dataset according to six criteria: lexical analysis, time to reach, trend reoccurrence, trending time, tweets count, and language analysis. Based on our results, 77.6% of the topics that reached the Top-10 list were trending with less than 100k tweets. More than 50% of the topics could not hold the position for more than an hour. English and Arabic languages comprised close to 40% and 20% of the first rank topics, respectively.
