Zusammenfassung:	A system, method, and apparatus are provided for identifying entities trending within a professional community, such as member of a professional social network. The system collects "share" activity and/or other types of activities conducted by members of the community in which they generate or disseminate (textual) content. From the collected share activity, trending terms are identified and ranked according to scores that reflect the change in frequency of usage of the terms over time. The most relevant shares for each trending term are identified and used to identify names of entities that correspond to (e.g., include) the terms. Reasons indicating why each trending entity is trending are also derived from the share activity. A display or presentation is provided of top trending entities, within one or more segments of the professional community, which includes the reasons and allows a viewer to quickly identify the reason a given entity is trending.
