Twitter Trending Topics - Fixed!

Hey PF'ers -- as some of you noticed, our Twitter trending topics integration went AWOL.

I dug around and found the misbehaving squirrel so now things are once again working.

If you haven't ever tried this feature, you should. We pull the latest trending topics from Twitter on a regular basis and mash the results up with the latest vids. We use a completely different PF algorithm for this as users are looking for the very latest videos (spam removed of course) -- works especially well for breaking news events.

As I write this, Yao Ming has just announced his retirement. PF has video on his announcement as well as excellent highlights (sorry Dwight Howard)
