Twitter for iPhone provides explanation for trending topic

I stumbled on this cool feature in Twitter for iPhone. Click on a trending hashtag and a button appears that brings in an explanation of the hashtag from whatthetrend.com. In this case, the trend is #TwitterJokeTrial which relates to Paul Chambers and his prosecution for tweeting: “Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!”

I think we’ve all learned not to make jokes like this in airports, and the authorities were right to look into it, but enough already. There are better things to spend taxpayer’s money on.
