trends

Trends are the directions in which things tend to move. Fashion, finance, fitness, fanaticism — all follow trends. You can trend up or trend down, be in and out of trends. You can follow trends, set trends, or look for trends. Sometimes trends can pass you by without your even realizing it.

Some of the fastest moving trends occur on the Internet. When user number graphs start to resemble the profile of a hockey stick it is considered trending to critical mass. Tracking trends on the Internet can be achieved by monitoring keywords currently being searched for using a tool such as Google Trends.

The top 100 blogs is a good place to see what's trending up right now. Bloggers like to follow trends in fashion, lifestyle, and just about anything else you can think of.
