#3Very interesting read, I wonder if Twitter does it in a similar way.
Anyone who knows where to learn more about the system design they use, with the pre-processor, parser, scorer, and ranker?
How do these interact? What's the respective input and output?
Links to some similar system with more in-depth on this area would be appreciated.

I agree.
"Every few minutes, a line with the current value for S(h, t) is emitted."
Hard to believe the author didn't notice this...
Maybe just some humor for the trending classification overview?

#6This is a great read. Thanks.
On the topic of Instagram, is there any news on bringing the hyperlapse solution to Android? I know Microsoft brought a half-measure solution, and it was a bit curious the way they almost seemed to announce it almost like Facebook and Microsoft had each agreed on their respective turf. It had a very unsavory feel to it.
I ask because I was pinged by a VC about working on a team being assembled to run with Gallus. I had never heard of that product before but was blown away with the tech it has already demonstrated in the shadows. My single concern about joining the team is if Facebook stomps in like a gorilla, representing the only real threat.

#7This was quite good.
Interesting that most hashtags don't get more than 3 posts per hour - that breakdown would be a good graph to see! It's also curious that they don't apply some type of seasonal decomposition to the timeseries data; though perhaps that that makes sense with Instagram's particular data.

#8Nice. I learned a ton with this. Definitely adding the various types of calculations to my reading list. I haven't googled for this yet, but is there an open source hashtag trends detector around? If not, would be pretty cool to use the teachings of this post to build one.

Google [zipfian], and I bet that's what the distribution looks like...

#10This is an awesome post! I really appreciate the level of detail they go into.
Also, I found a typo:
> ... to requests comping from the app
(I think that should be 'coming from the app')
