Similar to Twitter’s Trends list, Facebook, too, launched a Trending feed. Located
to the right of the News Feed, users will now be able to see trending topics and
conversations that are popular across their individual Facebook, at any given time.

Features include:
- Personalized, clickable, topics spanning your interests, and top trends across the Facebook platform
- Snackable, at-a-glance
headlines providing more information on each trend
- Upon click-through, view of trend-related content by users' friends, pages they follow and public posts
This aggregate of trending topics
aims to enhance the platform’s stance as a source of news and encourages users
to share more content publicly.
As this list is engineered to
populate with content users are interested in, along with their friends, this
may provide ad opportunities, similar to the evolution on Twitter.
As Facebook rolls out this update,
you can learn more about the feature and how it’ll look on your Facebook, here.
