Does Twitter really have someone who writes up the explanations manually for trending topics? For example:

Google Voice is a popular topic on Twitter right now. July 27th: Apple blocks Google Voice applications from the iPhone app store.

First thing I noticed was that the search button is slightly off (Google Chrome).

Makes sense, searching Twitter is one of the useful things about it. It's like listening to conversations around the world about whatever topic you want.

with so many people with so many different opinions about a subject, how will twitter rank each of the tweets so that the information about a certain topic is useful.

Does this mean they're no longer going to redirect all Twitter Search links for users that aren't logged in? I hate not being able to follow links to Twitter.
