Google for Trends

you know how they say idle mind is a devils workshop. it might as well spark off a decent observation. check out google's home page for different countries. you will get a list of country code here : http://support.cityswift.com/index.php?pageID=357 

Now look at the top bar on the google home page. which carries options like web Images Videos Maps News etc etc. Obviously it would be different for different countries. based on their needs. 

so while India got books and orkut, USA got shopping, Togo got translation and agenda, Uzbekistan got directory services and groups, UAE getting nothing at all. :) 

So you want to know the trends, you dont actually have to run google. you can get that just by starting the engine :)
