  Somebody may be able to explain just what 'trends' means in this particular context, but...no rush.
  This got me thinking. [change CAN come to all of us ]
  
  There must be a great deal of scope to excite/upset the world by opening a spurious account in the name of some character or other in the news...a certain cruise line captain, for instance?
  
  So...are we up for suggestions?

  Twitter trending means immediately popular. News or info on a person, their page may have been generating a lot of hits.
  
  Never got into Twitter.

  So a simple 'thank you' will do?
