## About topics
In each stream, messages are sorted by topics. Topics are
specific, fine-grained subjects that fit with the overall subject of the
stream that they're sent to. Topics ensure sequential messages
about the same thing are threaded together, allowing for better consumption
by users.

!!! tip ""
The best stream topics are short and specific. For example, for a bug
tracker integration, a good topic would be the bug number; for an
integration like Nagios, the service would serve as a good topic.
Users can easily [change the topics](/help/change-the-topic-of-a-message) of the messages
that they sent if they sent the message to the wrong topic or if some
messages in a topic have gone off-topic.
