An actual instance: My quantum physics experiment
Final week, I needed to check the function myself. I noticed “Quantum physics” trending and thought, “Nicely, this could possibly be fascinating.” I am no physicist, however I’ve watched sufficient sci-fi to have opinions. I brainstormed a put up with AI that was equal components curious and tongue-in-cheek, hit ship, and went to mattress.
I woke as much as 54,000 views and 90+ reposts.
The put up resonated as a result of it added worth to a dialog individuals needed to have. That is the ability right here. You are collaborating in actual conversations on the proper time.
The entire course of took perhaps 10 minutes. Noticed the development, brainstormed a related angle, wrote the put up, scheduled it, performed. The following morning: 54,000 views.
It is not simply me both. People on our crew have additionally experimented with Trending Subjects and seen actual outcomes. For instance, Amanda, our Workers Product Supervisor, posted her tackle The Muppet Present and generated a ton of dialog and 6k views.
What I discovered testing Trending Subjects
The experiment taught me loads of issues (and never nearly quantam mechanics).
Relevance issues greater than attain. I hung out looking the quantum physics subject earlier than posting. Some individuals have been simply dropping “quantum physics” into random posts. These received nearly no engagement. You possibly can’t simply slap something onto any trending subject.
