Introducing Trending Topics

Algorithmic collections of casts about topics people are talking about. They update a few times per day.

Mobile only to start. Update to the latest version of Warpcast from the your app store and restart your app 1-2x. 

Topics will appear on the search tab and in your feed while you're scrolling. 

We’re running this as an experiment in Warpcast for the next couple months.

> Are these channels?

Trending topics **are not** channels. They are collections casts about a popular topic identified by an AI-powered algorithm. Channels have no bearing on trending topics.

> Are the topics on the protocol?

The casts themselves are on the protocol but the categorization and feeds are generated by Warpcast. There are developer tools like @mbd that can provide this for your app.

Make your app, feed or mini app feel more personal with AI powered recommendations. Incubated @a16zcrypto CSX'23 -  getembed.ai

Theoretically how fast could the system identify a trending topic?

I like pleasure spiked with blockchain and music is my aeroplane. It's my aeroplane. @pizzadao underboss & /politics contributor. Featured in "Number Go Up"

Theoretically instantly. To start, we wait for a bit to develop critical mass. Will improve over time.
