Twitter says that the new experience will make it much easier to keep up on what's trending around the social network, with added descriptions for each topic and more. From Twitter:
We know that trends aren't always self-explanatory, so now you'll see a description below each trend. Since trends tend to be abbreviations without context, like #NYFW, a description will make it clear that this trend is about New York Fashion Week. The new trends experience may also include how many Tweets have been sent and whether a topic is trending up or down.
Twitter says that the new trends section is rolling out to its mobile apps for users in the U.S., but it will expand to more countries in the future. The company is also working on bringing a similar experience to the web, but that's a bit further down the line.
