Hi all,

a large german news magazine lately had an article about google. Among the stuff emerging from google, there was also "google trends" that I didn't heard of until then.

I just took a look at the "google trends" for the keywords os/2 and ecomstation. Quite interesting. Go here if you don't know google trends yet:

http://www.google.com/trends

It shows how much a certain keyword was being searched on google. If you enter OS/2, you'll see how it declines thru the last 2 years.
In addition, you can switch to "regions" in the lower part and you'll notice how active the topic is in eastern europe.

Next clue: You get a comparison chart if you enter more than one keyword (and separate them by commas). Funny things - yet interesting. The drawback is that you probably can't use "ecs" to search for because of the pc company or any other one that uses that abbreviation - it will spoil the results.

FWIW I've attached the comparison chart for "os/2" and "ecomstation" here.

That could be useful to Serenity Systems (or the ecs community): Check the countries where "os/2" was searched a lot but not "ecomstation" - there's possible markets for a promising advertising... seems liek people there haven't heard of ecs yet.

Greetings
Thomas

Like the US market which seems to have little search penetration... though that could be due to people doing generic searches. I have purchased both eCS 1.0 and 1.2 yet when I search for something for it I almost always search for "OS/2 something" (ie: "OS/2 sound drivers") instead of "eCS sound drivers").
