Google recently updated (Monday, Sept 24) their Google Trends site to update daily and began offering an RSS feed every hour of the current hottest search trends on Google. So, I saw a unique opportunity to mash together our very own Fresh Feeds awareness engine with Google Trends, providing a *stream* of trends with associated discussions in the new media realm.
The mashup, called Fresh Trends, launched this morning. There is plenty more that I want to do with this so what you see is just the beginning but I wanted to get it out there as fast as possible (it was a little under one day of work to put it together).
What’s great is as we work on the noise issues with Fresh Feeds, the discussions we bring back about the trends will be more and more relevant - as well as the speed of retrieval. There is much potential in this mashup so I should have fun dreaming up fun new features. As always, we’d like to know what you think here in the comments.
Enjoy
