A step-by-step guide to Quick Trends
We’ve used the 2015 Apple World Wide Developers Conference as an example, to show how Quick Trends can help us to identify the most-tweeted topics of the day.
First, enter your keywords, hashtags or mentions. You can compare up to five different topics, using as many keywords as you need to define each one.
We are going to compare Apple Music, the Apple Watch, iOS 9 and El Capitan, the main topics presented at the conference. Our final topic combines all of the above to give us an idea of the overall number of tweets.
By clicking on the “Preview” button, you obtain a graph displaying the exact volumes of tweets posted over the last 30 days.
By clicking directly on the graph, you can select a period of time and zoom in on it. Below, we have selected June 8th.
By zooming in further, we can display tweets between 8 am and 2 pm. Quick trends then immediately shows tweets minute-by-minute.
We can see that apart from the main #WWDC2015 hashtag, the most popular topic of the day was iOS 9.
