Abstract

It is too difficult for us to find out trends with search engines. Twitter, a popular microblogging tool, has seen a lot of growth since it launched in October, 2006. Information about the trends is posted by many twitterers. If we find out trendspotters from twitterers, and follow them, we can get it more easily. Our trendspotter detection system uses the burst detection algorithm, and we verified its effectiveness for Twitter’s posts. We succeeded in detecting the 24 trendspotters by 5277 users.
