We want Basque Country's Trending Topic list

Encouraged by the Twitter translation into Basque Language (Euskera), in August, I brought out the idea: we want in our Twitter the Trending Topic list for Euskal Herria.(Original article in Euskera).

To carry out the idea a signature petition has been launched through the Actl.ly. The request should be addressed to Dick Costolo(@dickc) as Lander Arbelaitz did it toget the translation.

In short, what for do we need the Trending Topic list in Euskal Herria?

• For talking points to have a greater presence among users here, without getting lost in other lists of trends.
• To boost our presence in the media, traditional media are increasingly taking into account the Trending Topic.
• To enhance the Basque Language(Euskera) prestige and also show us in technology along with other languages.

The local sphere in the world

Twitter is successful in reaching people who we would never have been able to know, but also is useful to communicate with our people closer. For that reason the request of having a local Trending Topic will not be something isolated that starts only in Euskal Herria.Twitter has not yet implemented all the mechanisms to respond to local needs, but that is about to arrive. Twitter is a further technological tool to apply the vision Think globally, act localy effectively.The 140 characters go beyond the network. They serve to link communities. Which one do you feel closer to you? I have no doubt that they will join that way, they are going to promote the local path. Sooner than later, Bilbao, the most populous city in Euskal Herria, will have its own Trending Topic like Madrid or Glasgow. All cities, nations, communities and even neighbourhoods will have their list. In general we can say that all those communities united around an interest will have their space. It will not be easy for a stateless nation to have its own Trending Topic. In the queue are waiting even states like Belgium & Switzerland. We also have to ask for our turn!

Translating Twitter we have proved that we are, that the Basque Country exists. We are in Wikipedia, we are in Google, we are in Microsoft Office, we are in Mozilla firefox, we are in Facebook...according to data from Umap, we are 15.000 people writing in Basque Language in Twitter. By 2013 we will have thedomain ".eus". We must believe it ourselves and make them believe it; BAGARA (WE ARE). On The Internet there are no borders, we will be what we will want to be. Why should they refuse to a Trending Topic in Euskal Herria?

Our opinion, our information, our debates, our experiences, and why not, our drivels as well; we want them to be visible. For all of this, a little step can be given tosupport the Euskal Herria´s listoftrends.
