Joel - very interesting. However, doesn’t this disclaimer on Google’s site give you any pause for concern:

‘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.’

As I read it, this means the data could be as good as useless. Or am I missing something?
