I work at home, so I love Twitter: it's a great way to break up the monotony of one room, one laptop and eight hours. If you're a user, you know that on the right-hand side of the page there's a list of "Trending Topics" -- frequently used phrases, frequently marked with a hash-tag -- that changes depending on how often they're used...
