Google Trends, Suggests, Transit

This was kind of fun. It took me awhile to get the hang of the kind of terms it could provide comparisons for. Democrats and Republicans brought up some interesting graphps. Iraqi War and the peace movement, too. My favorite was global warming and recycling. I think if you can come up with the correct search terms, you'll do fine with it. The trends that come up can be interpreted many different ways, so I'm not sure of what value it would be.

Now Google Suggests (search terms) was fantastic! I put in a search for the mountain, Changabang, and it came up with all the information I would ever need on the subject, plus links to photos and climbing history. I was really impressed at how simple it was. A winner!

Google Transit was confusing. It offered alot more--maps, traffic, satellite views, than I expected. So much so I got sidetracked into finding my house via the satellite views. I found it easily, but I don't think that's what the site is for. I'm going to go back and give the bus routes another try. I returned to Google Transit. Wow! How easy is that. Much better than Metro's site. This is a winner!
