Best way i can explain it is a chart that shows what most people on the given platform is talking about most.
Its like walking into a corner shop and seeing that 10 out of the 15 papers all seem to have the same stories on the front page so you just know you are going to need to read what seems to be so important that most the papers have lead with it...
i.e. i would have not known Eastenders was on BBC 2 had i not seen that it was "trending" in London on twitter (a lot of people in london on twitter was talking about the showing of eastenders on BBC 2).
