Some trending topics remain popular for days, and online social listening helps you prevent conversations from dying an untimely death. This improves opportunity to reach people with relevant content links. During these interactions, you can find out what piques their interests.

Entertainment news and talk shows often do this. The Real, Entertainment Tonight or The Ellen Show are some that do. Hashtags also create "buzz" among viewers.
