Chatter Trending Topics overview

What is measured?

Trending Topics measure the rate of change of topic usage. This means the total number of posts/comments with a topic is less important than the change to that number.

 

What's the refresh rate?

Trend stats are updated approximately every 4 hours.

 

What about historical posts/comments?

Trends are recalculated every 4 hours, which means posts older than 8 hours don't play a factor in the current trend.

 

What tags qualify for calculation?

A tag must be used at least 3 times by at least 3 different users in the 4 hour period to qualify.
