How to search the web

Hi Michael,

I agree, in that I said this wasn't foolproof. But I still think it's useful info.

I agree - that would be great if some longer term data was available. Unfortunately, I only know of short-term weekly data - such as what you find at Google Zeitgeist or The Lycos 50. (They both have archives you can look through however.)

A bigger limitation is that you can't put in your own search terms. You're limited to just the 10 or 50 top terms they list. It's useless for niche markets. That's not the case with Recall - you can look up niche market data.

Hopefully the future will bring even more useful tools.
