Want to be popular on Twitter? Here’s how.

Is there a formula to be a trending topic on Twitter? After some successful experiences with some clients plus some very public data on trending topics, I’ve put together a ten-step guide on how to create a trending topic on Twitter. I think you’ll be surprised by the techniques. Most of the advice is focused around energizing people during events.

Above is my appearance today on 7 Live, an interactive live Bay Area show that hits a lot of pop culture and technology issues. I mention three of the techniques.
