Google Launches Trends

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what's-hip-with-the-kids-these-days dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google started to offer a new Trends service that allows viewing search term request statistics split up by geographical locations and languages. In short one can use Google trends to figure out what's hot and what's not and perhaps even find cyclic patterns to pick best time to advertise. From my poking around Google trends I have noticed that there appears to be a general declining bias for most search terms that either has to do with the declining popularity of Google (i.e. less folks were using Google for the past two years) or with the declining amount of searches in general (which is highly unlikely)."

    This is a service of Slashdot Dupes, which periodically "reminds" you of news stories that happened days, weeks, or months ago.
