Trending Topics
When a hashtag or other term becomes popular, it can become a “trending topic.” Your campaign doesn’t have to take over the world, but if it starts to, check out these tools:

Measurement
Your ‘social media dashboard’ like HootSuite, TweetDeck, Radian6, SproutSocial, and others can help you track these hashtags.
- Create a new “Twitter Search” column using your tag. You can also create a search for your tag and the term ‘helpattack’ which may help isolate campaign specific activity.
- Or, if you don’t use a social media dashboard, you can run any search here: http://search.twitter.com
