gleichman Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 Google has a new feature that shows trends in searching. Google Trends 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. Here is what it shows for LabVIEW. It's not the trend I expected. Quote
Michael Aivaliotis Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 So I was curious to see what the top search term was and so I tried to compare terms. So far and can't seem to find a term that beats "sex". I guess you just can't beat sex. Quote

crelf Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 I guess you just can't beat sex. It's interesting to see that 'sex' is more popular around the holiday season. Must be all those guys out shopping for skimpy underwear for their significant others... Quote

brent99 Posted May 19, 2006 Report Posted May 19, 2006 But it looks like the marketing push for Labwindows in France is really taking off... http://www.google.com/trends?q=labwindows&...eo=all&date=all Quote
