Facebook recently introduced a new feature that is somewhat similar to Twitter’s trending topics. Simply called “Trending”, it’s a new box that can be seen on the right sidebar that highlights popular conversation across the social network.

But what makes Facebook Trending different from Twitter’s Trending Topics? Matt Southern shares on search marketing news site Search Engine Journal:
