Site - Google Trends
http://www.google.com/trends
As this site is rather hidden in Google's Labs area, I don't think many people know about it. I see this as a great way to grab a focused snapshot of the techconnected's Zeitgeist. Have you seen the info panels in your elevators at work? See how they say that "Searches for X are up 40% after the release of Y news story"? This is the place where you can do the same kind of searches, in real-time, with relevant news storys linked off the graph. The more I poke around Google Labs, the more I think this company might hold off competitors for a good long while.
