Trending Topics and Identities will change in the Metaverse like a continuous Tornado - 100X pace of change will become the norm.

The big winner(s) of the Metaverse will be the one who can predict the upcoming trends that catch fire.

Predicting trends means it becomes possible to manufacture the digital array of goods (NFTs, Digital goods) before the demand spikes. (With zero inventory cost)

Eventually, upcoming trends may even cause immediate shifting of the walls and scenarios once a group of folks thinks of it.

With this speed, trend prediction can be an indicator of monetization.

The one who sees the upcoming Trends can predict - supply & demand, viewership, and even make virtual influencers who become magnets.

Such a profound impact means the trend predictor defines products, experiences, and ideas and also becomes a storyteller for the world. This means the trend could also control the most sophisticated layers of the Metaverse:

• Experience

• Discovery

• The creator economy 

This is true influence.

Versatile Search Engines - Visual, Text, Video, Opinions can predict trends

Trends can be predicted by building search engines that play on the niche of people who are searching for inspiration.

Search Engines that serve on the intent that users don’t want an exact answer, users only want a compass to be pointed in the right direction so they can explore what else can be incorporated into their ideas is a way to see much more. This form of exploratory search gives visibility to a wide array of ideas in different mediums – visual, list, and video which can be merged into a knowledge map and graph database. As more people become creators and influencers this becomes the norm.

Maybe Pinterest will win the trend wars of the Metaverse.
