People +try to settle many debates by resorting to trends. "Everyone is using it, so it has to be the best!", +"It's all over the web, so it has to be true" or "It's impossible for so many people to be wrong, so +it must be good" or tons of similar reasonings. I always wondered about the nature of trends and hypes +and how they navigate the world. This post is the summary of my thoughts on the topic that lead me to +a hypathesis on the behavior of trends and how to ride them. + + +In many cases people try to follow the hurd and the collective wisdom.
