Facebook has added a 'trending' topics page to the front of its site. But they're not copying Twitter. Honestly. Nope.

The feature will appear to the right of the user's News Feed to highlight a personalised list of popular topics. But as you will know if you use Twitter, on that site the list appears on the left.

So as you can see: totally different.
