Illocution Inc has released TrueTrend, twitter data trending derived 
from our dynamic, linguistically-principled twitter corpus. TrueTrend is 
unique in that 1) it is generated from a SRS of twitter data and 
therefore the trends have a high degree of statistical validity and 
reliability and 2) it demonstrates both emerging and declining trends on 
a daily and weekly basis. We will update TrueTrend multiple times a 
day so we can see what's on its way in and what's on its way out in 
regular intervals. More fun with n-grams for the data enthusiast. 

Check it out at:

Be sure to glance at our other twitter data and applications at Illocution 
Inc. Great data and great apps, free for download. Which is also great.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
