I think it means the major topic of discussion.

I thought it referred to what was trending on Twitter too.

It comes up at the side of my FB page and really annoys me. I can't work out how to get rid of it.

I thought it referred to Twitter - what people are tweeting about the most.

Well that was what I thought, but it didn't always fit the circumstances, BB's explanation is spot of me thinks.

Didn't we used to say something was 'trendy' back in the day? Same thing, I suppose.

Trending is also what the advertisers want you to buy next.

Trending is just something that is being talked about The flavour of the day if you want, we could probable say Will Young was trending yesterday as he was the talk of the Strictly world

Things seenm to be passing me by, what the heck is "Trending" or "On Trend". Is this what used to be "Cool", "Brill", "Hip", "With it" etc
