Google Trends

Google has introduced a cool new feature: Google Trends allows you to examine and compare search terms by their frequency of use in various cities and regions around the world. According to Google:

Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results -- our search-volume graph -- plotted on a linear scale....Google Trends makes it possible to find overarching trends in search and news. Our graphs are based on aggregated data from millions of searches done on Google over time. The results that Google Trends displays are produced entirely by an automated formula - you can rest assured that no one is reviewing your personal info. As an additional measure, Google Trends will only return results for those terms that have received a significant amount of search traffic.

You can examine a single search term.
