The what's hot section is just as lazy and useless as Twitter trending topics. I almost never find globally hot topics hot. Twitter occasionally has some semi-relevant content there, but Google+ hot topics are dominated by funny pictures and gifs. I can only see this problem growing further as a result of these changes.
- itcmcgrath 15y agoThis seems like a problem that is just asking to be solved. I've thought of this before: Just like you can use Location to affect what topics are hot for you, if they could determine a way to select area of interest to filter them it might prove useful once again. I'm sure it isn't a trivial thing to solve; but not impossible.
