I was tinkering around with Google Trends this morning… I’ve blogged about this before but was just curious with the release of CF8 if there had been any upturns…

Of course these mean absolutely nothing but it’s fun to try different combos anyway…
You can get a good idea of who is using what in various regions:

I’m surprised Ruby on Rails isn’t higher up than CF given the amount of hype that is surrounding RoR at the moment.
Also interesting that nearly everything bar Flex is in a steady decline – I wonder what’s filling the gap?
Yes – you can also skew the results by using ‘ruby’ or ‘rails’… But yes it is interesting that everything seems to be going downhill. You would think it would be the opposite?
