Abstract
Systems, methods and/or software for identifying relevancy and trending among multiple messages in a social networking context. Topics that are of interest and/or relevant to a user are classified based on factors including frequency and trending behavior. Alert indicators, such as color-coded 'sparklines' are generated and displayed close to the associated messages, to attract appropriate levels of attention from the user. The alert indicators are regularly updated to reflect trending changes, in near real time, as they occur.
