25 Things I Learned on Google Trends
To give you a sense of its tremendous power for tapping into the world psyche, here are 25 things I learned on Google Trends. Someone should start a blog on this kind of stuff.
1) Almost all of the ten biggest US markets for MySpace are on the West Coast
2) There's more interest in Bluetooth than in Wifi
3) PR is starting to come close to catching advertising. AdAge still bests PR Week
4) David Hasselhoff's popularity in Germany is declining
5) Jerry Lewis's popularity in France is rising
6) Blackberry is widening its lead over the Treo
7) Zacharias Moussaoui finally beat OJ Simpson in searches
8) Hockey is starting to surpass baseball in popularity, but they fall way behind football (no matter which way it is defined)
9) New York still tops LA!
10) The Kryptonite Lock got more PR from the blog blow-up than any other event during the past two years
11) TV is kicking the movies butt
12) Dogs are by far killing all other pets while cats and fish battle for second place
13) Democrats vs. Republicans? Yup, they're neck and neck and on my screen red and blue!
14) YouTube is huge in the Philippines. Call it the Mike Abundo effect.
15) Blogs have caught up to newspapers. Boing Boing and Gizmodo are close to catching the WSJ
16) The beach is more popular than the mountains
17) Wikipedia is huge in Eastern Europe and it started to lead Britannica, Encarta and Webster's in 2004
18) Digg is still way behind CNET but it caught up to Slashdot. MySpace speed ahead of AOL last year
19) Interest in blogs and RSS is much higher than in podcasting and wikis
20) Flickr is the king of tagging, followed by del.icio.us and furl
21) Web 2.0 is huge in Korea - even bigger than in San Francisco
22) Elvis and The Beatles are in a dead heat
23) Word is more popular than any other Office app. Outlook and Excel are in a tie, followed by Powerpoint.
24) Bill Gates is slaughtering Steve Jobs in searches
25) Google is bigger than God?

Weird thing, I would've thought that Excel was Microsoft's application of choice.

"Google" is bigger than "God"?
But "Jesus" is bigger than "Beatles."
:P
"Jesus" is bigger than "Lennon," too.

I though the result is somehow biased, especially when we consider it globally. The result is obviously based on the popularity of google. Consider those region, e.g. Japan, where Google had a rather low penetration rate (compared to Yahoo.)

No doubt google trends is a great tool in understand the popularity of the two terms or to draw comparisons even for SEO purposes. Its amazing, truly amazing.

The thing you can find with google trends are pretty darn amazing, you can really paint a good portrait of what the digital society looks like at a certain point in time with it.. Once again, Google came up with a great idea.

Any way I read it, I dont' see baseball surpassing hockey. Moreover, were these searches limited to the US market? Doubtful. Of course you get a push from hockey in Canada (what other sport do they care about? Curling?) and likely Europe. But to drawn any popularity conclusions is not looking at the data accurately. I mean, of course hockey might be more popular outside the US. Same goes for "football"
Try including soccer in your query.
