Trendy Google ...surprising results
Google have under test an analytic tool "Google Trends" in which you can review trends of access to major websites. This is provided graphically - and you can compare in a search , say bbc,cnn,itv. Google have also aded news stories which may help to explain spikes of interest ... BBC Executives reward themselves with £5Mn bonuses etc.,
This is the one for BBC alone which also provides a list for the top 10 towns searching for the BBC news site by volume.
1. St Albans, United Kingdom
2. Bristol, United Kingdom
3. Leeds, United Kingdom
4. Poplar, United Kingdom
5. London, United Kingdom
6. Thames Ditton, United Kingdom
7. Edinburgh, United Kingdom
8. Sheffield, United Kingdom
9. Gloucester, United Kingdom
10. Bletchley, United Kingdom
What lessons can be drawn from this ? Remember! " Google Trends aims to provide insights into broad search patterns. As a Google Labs product, it is still in the early stages of development. Also, it is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it."
Fascinating tool to play with - why is Inverness the city with most interest in loooking for the MI5 website ? 300% more than Croydon. Leeds etc.,
Postmanpatel can't be found. Even Blacklisted here.
Lord Patel leaves you to fiddle with it and puzzle over the results of "number-10", whose resident is apparently postponing the delights of Cliff Richard for a while.
