Trendero wants to help you be a trendsetter:

Have you noticed a trend picking up? Are people constantly whipping beverages out of their pockets or endlessly talking about some sort of supernatural-themed novel? You should let Trendero know.

The idea here is that you can report up-and-coming trends, verify that they’re actually happening (“Seen it!”), and most interestingly, find out about new trends spotted by other people. I just learned about the Vapur anti–bottle, for example. Nifty.

The site has a very attractive design and a nice, simple logo. The layout of the home screen works flawlessly: it’s easy to see what trends are coming up, and what’s going on around me. Most importantly, I can report a trend from the welcome page. It works.

It’s not without its issues of course — the colour theme feels a bit odd (the bright blue doesn’t work for me with the red), and I was sad to see Flash used for the map (seriously, lose the Flash) — but overall, it’s fun to use and offers up something I’ve never seen before.

Follow them at @trendero. It’ll be the new trend.
