google trends

dear readers, excuse me for my way to long absence! but my current workload doesn’t allow me to keep this blog up-to-date like i would like to. i even had to quit checkin’ my blogroll daily getting the hot news and picks in the online marketing and advertising scene. nevertheless i will try to get it going again.

so here is my pick for today. google labs launched another nice online marketing tool today – called google trends.

“with google trends you can compare the world’s interest in your favorite topics. enter up to five topics and see how often they’ve been searched for on google over time. google trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in google news stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often.

this graph shows the trend for the term “web 2.0” for example.

you find more information about it here.

(thanks to michael from webpronews for telling me about it)
