MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP)--Google Inc. (GOOG) is going to start sharing more insights about what's on its users' minds by showing a daily list of the 100 hottest topics on its Internet-leading search engine.

The new rankings will be unveiled late Monday in an upgrade of Google's "trends" service. The breakdown will consist of the fastest-rising search requests on any given day.

The list won't include all of the top queries because it will be edited to exclude pornography and other requests about the weather, popular Web sites like MySpace.com or prominent celebrities that consistently generate lots of searches.

Trying to figure out why certain terms are popping up is part of the fun underlying the list, said Amit Patel, a Google software engineer who oversaw the project. To help provide context, the Mountain View-based company will provide links to news stories and blogs containing the search terms.

"It's very entertaining and it's very addictive," Patel said of the trends list.

Besides appealing to pop culture junkies, Patel believes the rankings will be useful to Web researchers and reporters looking for story ideas.

The improvements also will enable users to analyze search terms within the subregions of 79 countries.

TexasDreams · 05-21-2007, 11:06 PM

And now the entire world will really know the true results of "Lensman nude" searches.

its edited so basically useless

kinda cool to watch i suppose , but purged of all adult listings sucks

basically a ripoff of yahoo's "buzz" index

Nathan · 05-22-2007, 12:25 AM

Their editors seem to not really know about the "exclude pornography" rule, or at least they do not really look close enough:

that should be very cool

sumphatpimp · 05-22-2007, 10:32 AM

"exclude porn" = useless to us.
just Google herding the sheep again.
its getting boring.
Google came to the internet with the ideal "all should bow down and kiss our ass" and so many did.
No one or nothing on the web should have the power that Google has.

SykkBoy · 05-22-2007, 10:36 AM

I'll be watching the list pretty closely

woj · 05-22-2007, 10:37 AM

It would have been more useful if the whole world didn't know about it... everyone and their dog will try to target keywords on that top 100 list now...

AaronM · 05-22-2007, 10:39 AM

16. opiates

So drugs are OK but not porn.

Hmmm.

fbrtopic · 05-22-2007, 10:41 AM

sumphatpimp, you're a funny man.

Anyway, yeah I think for those of us that have mainstream sites this will be a good thing to keep track of trends with. Good idea Google.

Then this is useless. Kind of like having a lifetime supply of viagra, but being stranded on a deserted island.

Ok, the tool that is up right now is kinda crap. Number 9 is "what part of a graduate’s costume gave the cordon bleu cooking school its name"

I hope it gets fixed soon.
