There's a list of trending topics on the left hand side of the twitter page, you can set it by country or set it to worldwide. Usually it's full of rubbish but sometimes you'll pick stuff up before the main news does. I usually find out whenever San Fran gets an earthquake because #earthquake suddenly starts trending as everyone gets woken up and asks everyone else if they felt that.
