Google Trends
It’s been around for a few months now and Google Trends seems to have caught up with twitter somewhat. Keep in mind that the topics set out is what the people are already writing anyway. Just seems more dynamic since you get those instant trends. Most of the celebrities talk about Twitter and I doubt they will mention Google trends, but you can be sure that most people online would tell you to search it on Google.
I live in Australia so the list does not really relate to myself, but it is interesting enough to know more about the USA. Like the current top search at the moment is Megan Fox aborts black baby. It is controversial and makes you want to read more about it. Well, that is my opinion. Most of the other stuff I have not heard of. I know of Megan Fox because she is beautiful.
It also feels like if you want to tackle the trendy topics of now a lot of people will see you blogging about it. Kind of like the advertisement I just saw on TV with someone calling our Prime Minster Kevin Rudd a gutless wonder. I think that was rude, but that is the media for you. I do not really like too much drama.
