CNN debuts CNN Trends site

Atlanta—CNN has rolled out CNN Trends, a news site that enables users to track the Web's most popular stories.

CNN Trends aggregates content regarding the most discussed news topics online and pairs that with a story on CNN.com.

“A healthy media diet consists of news, analysis and perspectives from more than one source,” said KC Estenson, senior VP of CNN Digital, in a statement. “CNN Trends embraces that concept and expands on it by allowing the social Web to determine which stories are featured.”

The site is powered by Zite, a personalized news app that CNN acquired in 2011.
