Totally Tweriffic Twitter Trend Tool
Twitter has a gem of a domaining tool that no one knows about. This is something that’s not on their page: it’s hidden. It’s called Search.Twitter.com. The name is self explanatory.
So I did a search for “new trend” and it was quite obvious what trends people have been talking about. This is hitting up trends pretty early on. Twitter and texting is about the first thing people do when they communicate now-a-days. It’s usually too late to get the category killer domain names once a trend hits the news. But I hit one or two using this search engine.
This is what I found:
Apparently Christina Aguilera and Tyra Banks have started a new trendy hairstyle called Goffered Hair. I registered:
- Goffered.com
- GofferedHair.com
This is something I noticed myself during the Olympics but never really thought of it: lenseless glasses. I saw several tweets of this and one referred to this article. I registered:
- LenselessGlasses.com
A big trend right now is making an avatar of your manga self. You take your face and manga-ize it. I registered:
- MyMangaAvatar.com
- MyMangaSelf.com
- MangaSelf.com
Other weird trends I read about: Fish fighting, cats in purses, pre-tween beauty waxing, precycling, SIGG bottles, white hair, insourcing, large ariel font and short wedding dresses.
These are trends that I otherwise would never have found. I was able to hit them up super early before they got into mainstream media.

I’ve never used twitter but continue to look for upcoming tags and trends. Looks like a good resource, thanks!
***EDIT***
You’re welcome! I’ve checked it out every day since I posted this. I’m finding so many trends that I simply stopped registering them so I can take a step back and make sure I’m not going too overboard.

Twitter’s own search function is clunky and performs poorly compared to Google.
BTW, do you know that this page is the number one result on Google search for ‘trend domaining twitter’?
For those of us who rely on Twitter as the new RSS and don’t always know when to check in with our favorite websites like Trend Domaining, adding this site to Twitter would be a big help.
Personally, I prefer Identi.ca because it is cleaner, open source and integrates with Jabber/Google Talk. You can post on Identi.ca and have it show up on your Twitter feed.
