Google Value
Customizable display of the change in # of hits for diferent word combos over time. | |
Maybe this should be called Google Hits or Google Pulse.
It would be a customizable Google feature that saves
search-term-combinations and displays them in chart-form
with the change in
their
associated number-of-hits over time.
The purpose would be to be able to see when there was a change
in what people were talking about.
The eventual goal would be to be able to see the updates
in
real-time, like looking at the vital signs of a patient.
It would be like a stock market of words, displaying the
change in value that people place on words and word
combinations.
The only problem would be word-spammers and word-
viruses
etc, but you always have that problem and you always deal
with it.
Google Zeitgeist

Baked - sort of. This tracks queries, not actual references to those terms. [krelnik, May 07 2005]

I don't think this would exacerbate the problem any more than it is already given the number of similar services out there, and since there is no solution as elegant as you describe (or Google would implement)... Buns up! |
|
| |
You might want to make the display logarithmic. |
|
| |
And filter out certain words, simply because they'll distort the plot to the point of being uninteresting. |
|
| |
So, it checks on the number of... hits, and it puts that number in a... chart, and I look at the chart and say... "oh, well, that's alot of hits there for that one!" and then I...'m completely lost. |

Though, I've always wondered, when people are looking up info for jennifer lopez, do they more often type "jennifer lopez", or "j lo"... Which one is better?!? |
|
| |
Hmm... your machine may service my mind... |

Google had this under their zeitgeist for quite some time. |

msn already has "most popular" lists and shit like that. |
|
| |
An example would be, if Ford was considering merging
with Chrysler or Toyota, putting in the search-term-
combos, "Ford Chrysler" and "Ford Toyota" and then
watching how many times each combo is mentioned on
the web, and also watching for any sudden jumps in the
nuber of times one or the other was mentioned on the
web -- to see if you could predict which merger would
happen by what the general consesus was. |

One of the tools Google provides to advertisers shows how popular terms are. I don't know if this is only for query terms, or terms on external sites as well. |
