      1. Insight from Signal this morning: the text of your post matters for Facebook Trending, maybe more so than the link.

        An additional observation I've noted of late: it seems that the least strong connection on a Facebook Trend page is the Live video slot.

        That said, I'm not really clear how much of a relationship is between Signal's Trending Topics' posts list and what people see...

            Though! A screenshot of the corrections and a post discussing them was in the top 3 on Signal for that topic.
