I am taking a little break from in-depth media analysis to publish the lighter side of communication trends.

Don’t worry, those raging diatribes about the future of hyperlocal news will be back soon. In the meantime, check out what people are saying on Twitter in your corner of the world.

TrendsMap.com gave some interesting insight into what is trending on Twitter these days in Southern California. Hey, not all unsalaried journalists like to pay for Radian6, OK.

Trending hashtags were #DMV, #breaking and tornado. Trending videos were by Young Deezil and Lil B.

At least Romney’s fundraiser fop-ah was fourth on the trending links list.
