What's trending

Plume lets you check out trending topics from around the globe or from any of nine different cities. The downside? It only lets you check out trends from nine different cities.

Compose a tweet

Plume offers some basic tools for composing tweets. Autocomplete for usernames and the URL shortener are nice touches. Unfortunately, there's no geotagging option.

Plume offers a few different muting options in case your timeline gets inundated with content that you don't care about.
