A research prototype that ranks AI and technology trends from a snapshot of 850 public X accounts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The ranking is built from public X profile pages rather than a complete firehose, and the page explicitly treats the result as a consistent snapshot. Its scoring gives greater weight to posts from the previous 24 hours, limits each author to one contribution per trend, and gives engagement a smaller role. The adjacent advertising experiment is visibly labeled and currently simulated: the proposed winner would occupy a 24-hour #1 slot without changing the underlying rank.
