Be careful with Twitterfall, setting the stream to fast almost put me into a seizure.

Have been using twopular, tweetmeme, twendz, Twist to keep track with the hottest trends. Also, in combination of Twitter search to verify the results. Quite a number of apps been released in search of trend-tracking, which is why I had to dissect them for a clearer view. The pros & cons are for readers to identify which would best go for them in search of the best apps: http://tinyurl.com/d4ecql

I simply follow trendyobot on Twitter( http://bit.ly/b4dzJ ). What I really like is that this bot doesn't repeat the same trends over and over if they stay in the list for a while or go in and out of it throughout the day like the others do.
Tweetizen does a pretty good job as well... by grouping tweets that can be saved for later. Like today's easter trend: http://www.tweetizen.com/trends/Easter

I like the TwitScoop tool built right into Tweetdeck as a way to seeing what's buzzing right now. It's convenient and useful. Thanks for the additional options. Mashable is my #1 place for more info on social media.

Excellent collection of twitter trend tools! I've been finding the hashtags search and related google searches to be very valuable in that regards.

Here's a hockey twitter trend app. We released today. Sorry for the self promo, but it does fit with the post :-) http://hockeytweets.thehockeyzen.com
Just to inform 10 PowerSearch: also has a website http://TwitterPowerSearch.com - it is still in BETA but tweets about emerging trends, but daily and weekly trends with 6 live feeds. More features coming soon. - http://TwitterPowerSearch.com

I agree with Joel. Trendyobot http://bit.ly/b4dzJ is by far the best trends bot on Twitter. The others are just full of repetition.

All of the above are awesome - but my new favorite tracker is SIDELINE, by yahoo, for the Adobe Air Framework
I'd write about how good it is, but funnily enough i just reviewed it and other twitter/air apps last night to post on my blog next week. Suffice to say for now - install it, play with it, fall in love with it!
Twitter trend tracking is indeed fascinating, but i also feel not to be taken too seriously at this point, as a lot of the hashtag users etc are more "power users" and therefore not particularly representative of sentiment. But for an addicted peoplewatcher and trendwatcher like myself - watching peoples voice across the twittersphere is compulsive and highly addictive.
My one last word of advice - track "regular phrase" as well as hashtag. As proven yesterday as I tracked opinions on the Jack Black Yo Gabba Gabba special edition - totally different set of tweeters using "Yo Gabba gabba" and #yogabbagabba. It's little things like this that make me feel tracking twitter sentiment is still down to an individuals personal interpretation.
Good work - keep it up. And feel free to check in on my upcoming "Twitter Trilogy" starting next week ;)

It is still in private beta, but when it launches Drafty will be a great way to track trends across Twitter, Google, etc etc. Stay tuned!

I use twitter search everyday to find stuff. But i'll have to check out these other sites. The key twitter is harnessing all the info and getting a grip on whats going on. So this stuff will probably help!

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. It is a platform to network with people you would like to meet in real life. Check me out!!
TweetStats also lets you look at what's been popular over the course of a day, and the overall most popular trends since September - http://tweetstats.com/trends

I have a real-time search running all the time i'm online in TweetDeck. You have a spare column, at least at the resolution I use, so it may as well be useful.
I was using Tweetgrid.com to track a hashtagged event last night (#pawpawty) it makes it easy to set a live search and tweet within the site, it even adds the search term to your tweets it you like. It was great. The best thing is, it lets you set up multiple 'grids' so you can watch many things at once.

Any recommendations for someone who wants to follow specific trends that may not be the most popular? I would like to be able to list the hashtags I want to follow and find posts about them. Needs to be web based or PC app. No iphone here. :) Thanks!
Twist is awesome. the graphs also provide a great window into how twitter traffic is pushed. Try graphing 'techcrunch' for the last week and watch the spike rise!

Great, I found this site to visualise your twitter sphere, brilliant
Waggener Edstrom has launched twendz beta, a Twitter mining web application that explores the world of Twitter, highlighting conversation themes and general emotion of the tweets that talk about topics you (the user) are interested in. Check it out: http://twendz.waggeneredstrom.com/
I didn't know there were so many ways and applications to track Twitter Trends until I read your article. Its wonderful. I'm definitely gonna try some of them.
Thanks for the great post.
