Google Insight - ColdFusion Not So Hot

Bookmark and Share

Category: Code, ColdFusion, Flex, Tools

Google rolled out one of it’s cool tools today… Google Insights for Search.

With Google Insights for Search, you can compare search volume patterns across specific regions, categories, and time frames.

Of course I had to punch in ColdFusion! Unfortunately the “Interest over time” graph didn’t look to good:

Of course I know these things are skewed all over the place but tools like this are always fun to play with… Flex for example has lots of interest:

Definitely worth playing with if you are interesting in statistics and what’s under Google’s hood.

I find it hard to believe that there wasn’t a spike when Adobe bought Macromedia.

I’m not sure what exactly this is looking at - I think it’s a bit of Google Trends which does show spikes like Adobe 7/8 releases but mixed in with other variables.

I am definitely going to have to check this out

It looks kinda bad, but at the same time PHP has been on a decline as well and that is a huge deal nowadays. I don’t know why the trend is going down, but maybe it’s because people are just going to adobe.com or php.org instead of googling it, who knows.
