Now experimenting with 1337 design! Much green, very cyberpunk. On the more serious side, the report will continue to move away from data dumps and get more analytical.

Yesterday's trending news
This section includes trollbox messages collected yesterday, 2017-06-05 UTC.
The process for determining yesterday's trending news is as follows:
- Raw trollbox logs are analyzed to find valid http links
- Links that were seen previously are filtered out
- Links that were posted by a single author are filtered out
- Low value links or links related to old news are filtered out
- Links are manually classified by topic and/or token
- Link groups are assigned an activity level, ranging from low (several unique authors) to medium to high (tens of unique authors)
- Key points are extracted from each link group

Disclaimer
Trollbox data is messy. And at this moment my entity extraction engine is quite primitive, so missed messages, incorrect classification and false positives are to be expected.
Around ~1% of messages were lost due to timeouts and downtime.
