*disclaimer - all I know of twitter algorithm is one article's worth*
The Twitter trends algorithm works by comparing past to recent activity, that is to make it on the front page you'd have to generate more present activity compared to past activity on the tags. So I guess having a new tag has a higher chance of making it to the trends on the front page.

I'll join in to whatever tag is decided upon ^^. Would love to see more mainstream interest in FIRST
