FYI Body:	Illocution Inc has released TrueTrend, twitter data trending derived from our dynamic, linguistically-principled twitter corpus. TrueTrend is unique in that 1) it is generated from a SRS of twitter data and therefore the trends have a high degree of statistical validity and reliability and 2) it demonstrates both emerging and declining trends on a daily and weekly basis. We will update TrueTrend multiple times a day so we can see what's on its way in and what's on its way out in regular intervals. More fun with n-grams for the data enthusiast. Check it out at: http://www.illocutioninc.com/Research/Twitter/truetrend.html Be sure to glance at our other twitter data and applications at Illocution Inc. Great data and great apps, free for download. Which is also great.
