I don't know. There was just something about this blog post that made me want to re-tweet it.

The Twitter feature I hate the most, Trending Topics, is getting tweaked by Twitter. I don't hate the notion of surfacing topics that are getting discussed the most.

Perhaps what MG is writing about will help solve that dilemma.
