"People have grown to rely on being in the know for the very latest news. \u00A0Both Twitter and Google harness the online buzz to compile their top trending topics, yet surprisingly the trends have little to no overlap during the same time.\r\n\r\nHere is what one can learn from Google (via its Blog Search or its \u2018Trends\u2019 product): trends include a tragic plane crash that just occurred, Super Bowl-bound teams, and Angelina Jolie\u2019s alleged split with Brad Pitt.\u00A0 Overall, the trends are truly top/breaking news, albeit ones that range in gravity.\r\n\r\nIn comparison, Twitter\u2019s trending topics at the exact same time seem somewhat of a mess, or at least more of a Twitter specific echo-chamber.\u00A0 \u2018Nowplaying,\u2019 \u2018Music Monday,\u2019 \u2018idothat2\u2019,\u2019 perfectbody\u2019 are hardly relevant as newsworthy; rather, they are Twitter community-specific themes. \r\n\r\nGoogle definitely has the upper hand in terms of consistently staying on top of the news, even though Twitter for over a year has\u00A0received coverage regarding breaking stories.\u00A0 Obviously, with so much happening in the world, there is a lot of opportunity to break stories. Overall, it seems Google is a better bet because it incorporates social and search buzz from the entire web, but not just from one single, albeit very large, community.\r\n\r\nFor those who are still interested in the Twitter\u2019s #perfectbody trend, apparently it\u2019s important to 'keep it top' of the rankings for the next 12 hours.\u00A0 Good luck!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
