#Rhode Island - Why Is This Trending?

Every now and then it happens. It's never quite clear why. It's just one of those unexplainable phenomenons. Lately it seems to be happening more frequently. 

Rhode Island is a trending topic on Twitter.

Now if your area of social media expertise does not lay in this form, let me explain to you the significance of this. 

In order for a topic to become a trend, two components have to be in play. The first is based on who you follow and the second is based on the frequency or amount of tweets, featuring a subject. This means that for some reason, humans are talking about RI. The smallest, most corrupt state in the union. A state filled with beautiful ocean scenery, superior cuisine and a couple prestigious universities. Literally I summed up all
1,214 square miles little Rhody has to offer in one short sentence. So what in the name of Roger Williams are all these people talking about?

That's just it, no one is really talking about anything. Aside from road conditions and snow loathing, most of the tweets are a hilarious grab bag of local humor. Here's this week's best.

Trends are determined by an algorithm and, by default, are tailored for you based on who you follow and your location. This algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help you discover the hottest emerging topics of discussion on Twitter that matter most to you. -Twitter Help Page
