What’s Hot?
If you’re like me and you’re always striving to stay up on the latest trends, there’s a new Web site that just might be your savior. It’s called edopter.com and it bills itself as a social trendcaster. It essentially allows users to upload things they see as trends – but it doesn’t take your word for it. It combs the Web for evidence of buzz and even takes user feedback to rate the popularity of the trend.
They even have the site set up so that you can go in and input your information and find out what trends are popular for your demographic. Pretty cool. So what did I find out? I found out that apparently for males 25-30 in the DC market, Five Guys and Slugging are pretty darn popular.

Glad you found us! We (the creators of the site) are both from DC, and we’re around when Five Guys first started in the area. Just moved to Brooklyn, and theres a new one opening a block away next week. I can’t escape!
Kaley, add something you think is the next big trend! We’re only a few months old, but we’re growing fast and need your help. To get started, check out http://www.edopter.com/howitworks/cheatsheet
