Toppics is a nifty little experimental web app that connects to Twitter every few minutes to check the latest trends. It then takes those trends and then determines what related pictures are being published through Twitpic and how many times they are retweeted. Once this is all ready to show off, it connects to the Let's Be Trends API and updates the descriptions for each trend.

When you click on one of the topics to the left, you will be presented with up to 20 images and a brief description that should hopefully have something to do with the topic in question. No filtering is done on these images, so if you see an image that is not appropriate, feel free to click on the red "x" under the image to make it go away.

More features will be added soon. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to follow @toppics on Twitter and ask away.
