What's Trending Right Now?

 by Ross S. on Nov 11th 2013

Today I'm happy to announce a trial of a new way to browse the stunning photos on 365 Project.

Introducing the Trending Photos page


Have you ever wondered what the hottest photo is right now? Or maybe you've been overlooked by the Popular page and wish more people would have seen your photo?

The Trending Photos page has been explicitly designed to show you what's hot right now on 365 Project, a way to browse popular photos in real-time.

I've been using this page for a few weeks now and I love what it shows me, you can probably tell how excited I am by this, it's always highlighting amazing photos that I wouldn't have seen elsewhere. It's a great place to discover talented photographers and great shots.



Trending Photos Page



Limited Access - For Ace Members Only


Today we're launching Trending photos just to our Ace members, if all goes well we may roll this out to all accounts, or you can find details on becoming an Ace member.

How are Trending Photos determined?


Trending photos are are automatically selected by an algorithm that identifies photos that are being talked about right now, so you can see the 'hottest’ photos rather than just what’s most popular.

How often is this page updated?


Every 5 minutes or so at the moment, this page is designed to only look at photos with activity in the last few hours, so there will be a more pronounced real-time aspect to this page than the popular page.

Will I be notified if my photo is on the Trending page?


Not at the moment, but if this is a popular request in the comments we'll definitely add this in.

Got feedback?


If you have any feedback, let me know in the comments.

It would be good to be notified if a photo hits the trending page xxx

This is really cool. The real time aspect is nice.
I also like that this page does not crop the photos into a square.
November 11th, 2013
Katie
Cool! I second both the notion that people love notifications (feed that ego!) and I appreciate seeing photos in their natural aspect ratio and not squares.

November 12th, 2013
Kazzy
Great addition to the site! I love that my phone shows the photos in scrollable format...gives attention to each photo in it's entirety. The personal notification would be great!

Fabulous feature Russ!
November 13th, 2013
Anne Mary
Yesterday I thought it was a great idea but I'm not so sure now as five of the photos are the same as yesterday - still great shots but are they still "hot" 24 hours later. If so how is this different to PP?
That's not saying I wouldn't love to be on either one day!!!!
November 13th, 2013
MaryBeth Dailey
LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Love the idea of it and the format of it....looks great.

Such a great idea. I love it. I would definitely like to see it posted on the picture that it made the trending page, especially if the page is updated frequently, some may not see that they were on the page. Thank you!' @scrivna

Very cool like it, nice to see them in a bigger size too
November 18th, 2013
Daryl O'Hare ace
I love the idea, but I'm also seeing that they are on both pages really. I like the format of the photos as you can see them better on the trending page. A nice ACE advantage, which might be a benefit to getting more memberships? Thanks for the notice! A notification is great.
November 22nd, 2013

Great feature, and being notified would be good too!

Brilliant Page. All amazing shots.
November 30th, 2013
Gillian
I love this (trending) page especially seeing "unsquared" crops
Great feature, Ross! Thanks.

Not sure how relevant it is, but that'[s more to do with my not being as active as I normally am. But, to repeat, I DO like the unsqared crop :)

November 30th, 2013
Nicole
Really great new feature Ross! Love to see all the new beautiful shots!! And I agree with the rest, love the non cropped versions!!
December 8th, 2013
Mark Lynham
this i cool. I'm currently on it with a shot thats not on popular, it has 17 comments and 17 favs... great work :-)
December 9th, 2013
Jocasta ace
Trending is almost a month old - and a great month it's been. I hope other 365ers like it as much as I do. It's a brilliant way to see some of the 'hottest' photos and plenty of them 'cos it's continually changing.
I think it's a fantastic addition to 365 and hope it's here to stay.
December 15th, 2013
Ann H. LeFevre ace
I just saw that one of my pictures was featured on the Trending Page and although I don't see it there right now, I feel honored that it was here! I like this feature and will make sure I check it out more often. It was quite inspirational to see the pictures posted here. Great idea!!
December 17th, 2013

Nice one, gets my vote.

Irrationally excited to find one of my photos on the trending page. It is certainly a good idea and I have seen some great work on this page. I am not even a week in but it is already becoming addictive!
January 1st, 2014
Tony
Love the feature and would certainly appreciate a notification. I'm assuming that once an images ceases to be 'trending' there is no historical evidence. I'd love to know that my image made it there.
Thanks for all the wonderful features that show-case these beautiful images.

Fabulous! Will help me grow as a photographer! Thanks, Ross!

Louise & Ken ace
I just discovered this page and think it's marvelous! I like the large images, and I only left to leave comments on some of the photos I found there...which is the point, I suppose! Thanks for always coming up with new ideas for this wonderful site!
February 11th, 2014
Tricia O'Donnell
Some amazing capture
February 20th, 2014
Jan Harris
I have been notified I am on the trending page and so excited but I can't see my photo on there. Is that because it is my own photo?
February 24th, 2014
Margo
Love the large images.. I was excited when my daughter told me that my photo had been on Trending. But I did not get to see it there Would be a great idea to notify us when it happens
March 1st, 2014
Jan Harris
Again it says I'm on trending page but I can't see my shot. Am I looking in the wrong place. There only appear to be about 12 shots there!
March 20th, 2014
Margaret Brown ace
This is a great idea Ross. i have just found out I have 'trended' two days running but you have to be quick or you miss your photo. Is there any way of looking back on photos?
March 20th, 2014
Darlene ace
Just had my first photo on this page today and am so thrilled. I love that others let us know about this as it is a nice addition to the Popular Page and like mentioned above a wonderful way to see photos that may interest you and see others that you know have their photos up as in my case at the same time. You have done a remarkable job with this site, Ross. I love it.
April 3rd, 2014

Great idea

Leanne M Williams
What a great idea :-) Who knows maybe one day one of mine will be on there :-)
May 2nd, 2014
Jan Rose
This is a great idea, but I missed seeing my photo on the trending page as no notification. so it would really help.
May 14th, 2014
Charles
@scrivna i love this feature, but i wonder if mine have ever made it.... I did get a fleeting glimpse once though of one of mine. Seems most of the activity on my photos is when im sleeping though.
May 20th, 2014
Jan Rose
Missed another photo today on the trending page...it would really help if we were notified.
July 22nd, 2014
Renee シ
AWESOME !

Poppo Livy ace
I know it goes against the concept of what is hot "right now" but I think it would be good if you could look at historical trending shots also - even if it was only those shots which made the trending page during the last 24 hrs. They come and go so quickly that if you are away for a number of hours, then you miss the trending shots that have been overtaken by other trending shots.
August 1st, 2014
Rebecka
One of the first places I come when visiting 365! Love it
August 7th, 2014
Kate
I like the idea, but I don't have the ace membership. So, I can't join in on the fun.
August 9th, 2014
Ellen Young
I am so glad i remained a Ace Member!! I have had to take a long time off of my project due to health reasons and this new feature "Trending" had come out right after i had to slow down for the past year!! I'm enjoying the new lay out...the size of the images and the new features are Awesome!! Thank you @scrivna for giving us more "real time" opportunities to view other's work much easier and make new friends!!! I Love 365!!
August 30th, 2014
Mike Gifford
Ross, any way of indicating the "hotness" of a trending photo? Not to put an actual rating but maybe a color bar from a warm yellow-red to a hot red? Maybe as the boarder?
September 9th, 2014
Rosie Kerr ace
As a comment.... I really like the trending page. I see so many wonderful photos, above and beyond the "Popular Page," which I am very delighted to have seen. Some very creative work happens here. Thank you!
September 14th, 2014

I like this as I need all the help and ideas I can get.

i am quite excited about this..i think it would be great if trend makers are notified when their photos make the trending page..thanks.
October 20th, 2014
Patricia McPhail ace
I think it would be lovely if the photographers of the photos that are selected for the Trending Page were notified. This page is a lovely way to check out new people to follow.
October 25th, 2014
Tony Guest (snoopybooboo)
Fantastic idea and being notified is a great idea as well rather than relying on others to tell us. Mind you I still miss them sometimes but nice to know i've been there. Keep up the fantastic work.

Hey, if you have *just* updated to Ace and you are struggling to see the Trending page, logging out and in again should solve the problem.

This is wonderful perk for becoming an ACE. I enjoy this entire community and am so very glad that I happened upon this.

Awesome, but we'd like to be notified when our photo makes the page. Please.

Yep it would be really good to receive notification, especially for those of us who haven't been on 365 long - really great confidence builder to have a photo on trending page
August 10th, 2016

I just turned ACE and I really liking all the features. Yes I would like to be notified, just in case I miss it. Thank you for offering such services and what a nice ride it has been to be part of 365.

what a fun addition...love it

Glover Shearron, Jr. ace
I was just informed that I had an image on Trending, but when I went to look it up, it was already gone. It would be nice in the future if you could send some kind of notification to the member when one of their images hits the trending page. Just sayin' ...?
February 24th, 2017
Rookynook
Great idea. For someone like me who, until the introduction to 365, I would have said I am a very poor average. However the kind comments and words of encouragement have made me much bolder and confident in such a short space of time. I have so much to learn and the wonderful photographers signed up to this site are my future inspiration. Thank you.
May 8th, 2017
Diana ace
I think everyone would like a notification if their photo's appear on the trending page. I sometimes wonder why the same photo's are on both the trending and popular pages! Although all are fantastic images, one tends to skip the one or other page. As I am relatively new to 365, I feel at home here. There are so many wonderful photographers/peopl. As a beginner, I am learning so much from all these helpful and talented photographers.
December 4th, 2017
Teresa Amaro
This is great! I’m just into my second month here on 365 and really enjoying the experience. I was reading comments on my photo and noticed it made the Trending page, but it’s already gone so I agree that a notification would be perfect.
April 19th, 2018
NZkites ace
I have just noticed that one of my images was on this page and it would be good to have been able to see this in a notification. And also is there a way of finding out when and for how long it was on this page?
May 12th, 2018
chikadnz ace
Agree with other comments - it would be great to have a notification, and a link that could be clicked on to see which of your images had appeared on the Trending page and for how long.
June 15th, 2018
Ko*
Didnt know of this feature (I'm new in 365) but one of me pictures had it in photo details, otherwise i would not have known about it... great future if u ask me.. But like people mentioned above . would be nice to get a notification.
June 20th, 2018
CC Folk ace
No real need for notification if it shows under your photo. You can look when seeing or responding to comments. And you can browse the trending and popular page daily as they change.
August 25th, 2018
Sandy Z W ace
I’ve been wondering what Trending photos were. Thanks for the explanation.
December 18th, 2020

Let me add my voice to the many who appreciate this new feature.

Looking forward to see how it actually works.
Thanks for trying new things.
