Google Trends

Google Trends has been live for a few days and it´s time to play around with this new google service and find out what it´s all about. By entering one or more search terms you see a graph that shows the search volume and the news reference volume for about two years. This in itself isn´t that exciting but the feature to compare results by searching for multiple terms is. You could for instance compare linux distributions or windows, linux and macintosh.

All you need to do is enter one or more search terms seperated by commas and google will process the request and display the results. If there have been enough searches for the term. The results also show which cities, regions and languages did the most searches for the terms.
