Homegrown Google Trends

Trending Low-Volume Google Searches - Introducing Gootrude

...

So, I had to roll my own trending mechanism, and this blog post announces the release of a new open source tool Gootrude (see the quick start, source code, and download links) that I wrote to do just this.

In closing, I would like to mention that Gootrude is just getting started, so there are lots of enhancements that need to be made. Some of the most important features to develop are:

* Ability to import search data from different Gootrude collection systems.
* Add support for data collected from additional search engines.
