Spot news topics before they peak

By the time a story is trending everywhere, the window to react - publish the take, brief the exec, adjust the position - is already closing. This example scans Hacker News, Google News, Bloomberg, CNBC, BBC and The Verge and flags the topics accelerating right now, ranked by velocity rather than raw volume. Swap in your own keyword watchlist.
