- Rank - We show an ordered rank where 1 is most popular.
- First Seen - When did we first discover this meme.
- Last Seen - When did we last discover this meme.
- Popularity Index - A percentage ratio of how popular a trend is. 100% means it was as popular as it could possibly be (i.e. the #1 trend on Twitter every time we sampled it)

Use the lists from the navigator show the trends in the memes building. The lists here may differ from the tweets that Twendly sends. Twendly tweets the LAST hour at the top of the current hour i.e at 3pm, Twendly tweets the last hour as 2pm - 2.59pm.
The lists here show what is building for the next set of tweets, so at 3.30pm, the 1 Hour list shows the trend in memes from 3pm - 3.30pm. At 3.59pm the list should closely approximate what Twendly will tweet at 4pm.
