Hi Stephan, I have been studying a similar product of Google Trends. Google Trends does yield a nice trend of your search keyword if number of its search exceed a minimum threshold. However, I find for your question, studying the data from wikipedia is more helpful. The ariticle has the fastest update of any buzzwords and by looking into its search and number of versions you would got nice evidence of its popularity. But for usage and remembrance stuff, document study is necessary cos' search only tells you the popularity of a buzzword. Gary 2008/2/25, Stephan Humer <stephan.humer@yahoo.de>:
Hello.
Does anyone of you know any study about Google Trends (would be quite new, I bet) or simply buzzword usage in a digital context? (Meaning: Is there any sign that people prefer remembering buzzwords, but not real content - because they know where to look when it´s necessary to get the facts?)
Thanks!
Best
