Twitter just announced that it will now personalize its trending topics section based on your location and who you follow. This update, says Twitter, will ensure that the trending topics list will now “show emerging topics that matter more to you.” You will still be able to switch back to the standard, non-personalized view and see what’s trending in a specific city or country (or worldwide), but the tailored trends will become the default. Twitter is currently rolling this feature out to all of its users, but this will be a gradual roll-out, so it may take a little bit before these updated trending topics appear in your account.
