What are Top Tweets?

Top Tweets are popular Tweets that have caught the attention of other Twitter users.

• When you search for a popular term, you will likely see three "Top Tweet" results, marked with a small icon as shown below.
• You can use Top Tweets to quickly find the updates that other users are finding interesting, insightful, and helpful at this very moment!
• You can see examples and follow Top Tweets at www.twitter.com/TopTweets

How are these Tweets selected?

We've built an algorithm that finds the Tweets that have caught the attention of other users.

• Top Tweets will refresh automatically and are surfaced for popularly-retweeted subjects based on this algorithm.
• We think that showing the Tweets that other users have retweeted, shared, and interacted with can help you find new and helpful information more easily.

Why don't I see the Tweets I like on Top Tweets?

Top Tweets are Tweets that lots of people are interacting with and sharing via retweets, replies, and more.

• If Tweets you love aren't showing up as Top Tweets, it means those Tweets may not be part of widespread conversation as much as the Tweets that are Top Tweets for any given search term.
