Tools: Google Trends Goes Mobile

I'm not exactly sure when this was launched, but Google Trends now has a handy mobile version, which you can access here. The site, like it's desktop sibling, features links to the top searches of the hour. However, it also includes historical data from the past day, week and month.
Google Trends is one of the most useful sites on the Internet. I think a lot of people forget it exists. While Twitter might get all the press, there's no single more valuable tool than Trends to gauge what's got the public's attention. Now that it has a mobile version, I am sure I will be using it more.

Nice find. I am particularly fond of the iGoogle gadget for getting a quick glimpse at what is happening in the world.
Not available here in China.
This is fantastic. I had no clue that it was available. I will use it a lot.
I agree, its extremely useful. I think there is a lot of data analysis that can go on with Google Trends, Google Insights for Search, and Google Alerts. These 3 Google Products can be a foundation of Tweet material, thus meeting the real time aspect of Twitter.
I like using both search.twitter.com and trends.google.com. One shows what people are saying, and one shows what they are searching.
I think their must be an iphone app for this. If not there should be. Gonna go hunt one down. ... may be back lol
Nice useful program for mobile,it's cool
