10
What algorithm does twitter use to determine the 10 topics that you can see at search.twitter.com? I would like to implement that algorithm and I would also like to show the 50 most popular topics (instead of 10). Can you describe the most efficient algorithm?
Thanks!
(Twitters API can be found at- http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST%20API%20Documentation)
Also, I would like to be able to implement the algorithm by searching through the public timeline- http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.rss
