Google Trends (Tracking the popularity of PSB)

#1 Post by a powerful friend »

From a blog: http://www.prompt-communications.com/bl ... rends.html

Google has launched a new product called Google Trends. This enables you to enter keywords and see how the number of searches for them has changed over time. It puts flags against peaks and troughs with links to relevant news stories. It even break down the searches to cities, regions and languages. The blogger used the Pet Shop Boys as an example and compared them to searches for Radiohead and Pink Floyd.

Since some people here are more interested in Erasure vs Pet Shop Boys rivalry, I did a more relevant comparision of interest as a example.

The Erasure thing is flawed, since you can see that some of the references it found were for the word and not the band.

Pets are on a massive rise as the album-wise enthuasism is more widespread:)
The CELL by Stephen King instantly hit number 1 in New York Times Bookseller Lists selling well over 200 thousand copies in three weeks. This affirms my opinion: People really need an occassional good horror read...
