What Do Trending Tags Mean?

[Bystander]

Having just searched for significance/meaning of "Trending Tags," and found nothing, I have got to ask, "What do they mean?"

Tags are keywords you can attach to threads. The trending tags are recent commonly used tags.

"Trending" is then a modifier indicating current focus of user discussions --- ah-hah. Thank you. Saw that on the side bar and started wondering what a "Trending Tag" was, some special sort of tag? Like a "rolling coulter" for farm machinery as opposed to other types of coulters.

What happened to Tags? They used to be on my sidebar, but I don't see them anymore.

Removed them to make room for "Recent Insights".

You can still find them here
