(Deeper history/data on the most popular topics can be seen on the logged out Twitter.com homepage by the way.) For quite some time Twitter has shown the most tweeted about topics near users, but today announced it is expanding its local trends to include 13 new countries and 6 new cities &ndash; some of their fastest growing markets, of course. <br /><br /> Twitter also announced they are using Google Translate to display Tweet translations in the details pane to give people more access to what people are tweeting. The feature is currently available to only a small percentage of users but will be rolled out in the coming weeks to everyone. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=15404" width="1" height="1">twittertrending topicsreal timegoogle translatehttp://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/08/12/dailytweet-trending-topics-in-detail.aspxWed, 12 Aug 2009 10:00:00 GMT1e469e21-c924-44fa-a132-47b5d0a8ad47:9503MaureenA1http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=9503http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2009/08/12/dailytweet-trending-topics-in-detail.aspx#comments<p>For those who use Twitter, you might be intrigued to learn of a new website that follows trending topics on the social networking site in much more detail. <a href="http://tweetzi.com/news">Daily Tweet</a> was launched today to track real-time trends happening on Twitter. <br /><br />Trending topics is a feature on Twitter that organizes those being discussed the most on the social networking website.
