Google Beat – If you’re already familiar with Google Trends then Google Beat should seem like a natural extension. If you don’t know what Google Trends is, check it out and learn what are the hottest topics and keywords in Google search at any given moment, based on searches people make all over the country.

So now that we’ve established the concept of Google Trends, step it up with Google Beat; a short weekly video presenting the past week’s hottest trends online created by curious people using Google search. Think of it as our society’s cultural analysis, brought to us in weekly bite size as a time. To see an example, see Google Beat’s presenter, Anne Espiritu, covering Labor Day’s week (Sep 10). It’s fascinating to learn what people are searching for!
