Google trends – Africa
As the conversations and african myth busting continue at TED Global Arusha today, i would like to take a moment and point out a great tool by Google Labs (One of the sponsors of TED Global 2007 – making it possible for fellows like me to be here – Thank you!).
Google Trends is an interesting tool for looking at the most popular search terms on the net, relative to other search terms. For example, searching for Africa in google trends yields some interesting information.
Regions and cities associated with the search term africa.
The first 5 cities are in South Africa, which has high internet connectivity, followed closely by Nairobi Kenya.
Its also a great tool for bloggers to see the related search terms similar to those that bring them lots of traffic.
*Many thanks to Anetto from google for telling me about google trends, its an awesome tool.
