Facebook copies Twitter, tests 'Trending section' on desktop news feed

The Wall Street Journal reports that Facebook is testing a 'Trending Section' - similar to the 'Trends Box' which shows popular topics that are currently trending.





  The Wall Street Journal quotes a Facebook spokesperson, who confirms the test saying, "We are running a small test of a unit on News Feed,” she said. “Right now it only available to a small percentage of US users and it is still in the early stages of development.” Facebook also launched searchable hashtags this year.
