Google has yet again released a great tool called Google Trends.

With Google Trends, you can compare the world’s interest in your favorite topics. Enter up to five topics and see how often they’ve been searched for on Google over time. Google Trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often.

As webmasters, this is an awesome tool that can be used to check the popularity of searched terms on Google. The above chart, shows the results of searched terms for ‘Adsense’, ‘Chitika’ and ‘Yahoo Publisher’. You are only allowed 5 terms (separating each with a comma). Google has mentioned that since this tool is in its early development stage; as such, the accuracy of results may vary.

Therefore, use this tool with caution. One of the benefits to webmasters is that this tool will allow you to estimate the popularity of your keywords. With this, you can now position your site according to the demand. Try this tool: http://www.google.com/trends

If you ever landed yourself in Malaysia’s capital city of Kuala Lumpur and you are looking for a relaxing watering hole, may I boldly recommend you Luna bar. Luna is located on the rooftop (34th floor) of the Pacific Regency Hotel Apartment, right next to KL Tower. The bar has a lower deck sitting area and an upper deck seatings. Night views from the upper deck is amazing. You get to view KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers in all their majesty.

This is the view of Luna’s bar on the lower deck. The hotel’s swimming pool is located right smack in the middle with seatings all around the sides. 2 sides of the bar is equipped with futon beds that allows you to lie down and enjoy the view through large transparent windows.

This is a view from the upper deck of Luna. Seating area on the upper deck is very limited and there are only about 5 bar stools available. The upper deck is opened to patrons after 10pm (reasons unknown).

I have just finished watching a comedy movie entitled Starsky & Hutch (2004 movie) which featured a 1978 Mustang. It suddenly dawned upon me how Hollywood loved Mustangs in their movies. You have these cars featured in movies such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Bad Boys II and Charlie’s Angels just to name a few. The list of movies featuring Mustang cars is amazingly long.

So why this obsession about Mustang cars by Hollywood?
Are Mustangs considered a national symbol in the US much like their Harley Davidson motorcycles?
Would Mustangs featured in Hollywood movies make the movie more appealing?

Share with me what you think.
