    Hey, everyone,

    I had a quick question regarding Trending topics on Twitter.

    Imagine a group of 1 million users have set their country as: Germany and they have all set their Trends to Greece (meaning they'll see what's Trending in Greece, and not Germany).

    So, this group of 1 million people decide to start tweeting Tweets with the hashtag: #TwitterTest, and since 1 million people are tweeting the hashtag, it gets set as a Trending topic (automatically by Twitter).

    The question is, which country is it going to be trending on? Germany or Greece? Since the users tweeting the hashtag have set their country to Germany and Trends to Greece.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    It will be for germany, the trending setup is just a preference, it doesnt really change the way Twitter will see those accounts tweets.

    So I'd have to change the Country and not the Trends, to Greece if I want it to be trending in Greece? Also, does it matter where the user actually is from? For example if his IP leads to the US, does it matter, as long as he sets his twitter country to Greece?
