Trendspotting

logo.gifWe are all aware that Google does everything better- even trends. Google Trends is the best thing since sliced bread and the wheel (probably even since man invented fire!). What’s it do you ask me?Well, it tracks trends in searching and gives a breakdown by such awesome categories as city, region, or language. Not only does it track trends, but it also provides a graph broken down to years and months.

Of course I couldn’t resist the temptation of searching my own name inside this nifty little webmaster tool that the almighty Google has bestowed us. It was pretty hard for me to think of the “competition, so instead I compared the search trends with my favorite artists I was listening at the time. Here are the facts (for last year):

Seems Brandon Flowers (lead singer from The Killers band) sure knows how to put up a fight. On the other hand take a look at Brian Molko, singer from Placebo - he is not even trying! (I rekkon it has something to do with Placebo’s breaking up last year).

Of course, my name is no match against Oprah - I really think she is God! Oh well it was worth a shot. :-)

In case you are still skeptical about the results, feel free to test these hard facts for yourselves. ;-)
