Google Launches Trends 168
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)."

Check out the searches for C++, SQL, Perl and get a load of that decline, though the main source of queries for all three is Bangalore. Ouch !! Incidentally Dallas and Houston make an appearance in the lower ranks.
On a happier note, I predict news soon, from Peru, of a resurgence in the fortunes of the Amiga. AmigaOS forever !!!
