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.
