Google never ceases to amaze

A new feature of Google that I just learned about is Google Trends. This site shows the top hits of the day on Google and what people are searching for. You can also search within Google Trends to see tracking of search hits on that topic. It shows you times of the most search activity and even breaks it down by world regions and cities. It's pretty neat and a great way to see who is searching for info on your company or client and when they are searching. To see how it works and how helpful it can be, try searching some Milwaukee area companies like MillerCoors or Harley Davidson.

That is very cool! I think it's amazing how Google has been able to expand and provide us with useful information. I could see this being one of those google services that someday we wonder how we lived without. What's coolest about this is that I could see it being helpful in the workplace, and it is also just interesting in general to see what people are searching for. For example, today "emancipation" was a top search, and I think that is because it was a topic on Gossip Girl last night.
