Google Insights a Good Window on Search

A couple weeks ago Google launched a new Beta service called Insights (similar to its Trends, if you’ve used that).  I think you would have fun playing around with this for a few minutes (or hours:  it’s a little addictive) to learn something about your favorite search terms.  You’ll see trends over time and by region for those terms, and you can filter the results by category.  Note:  the category filters change the results a lot!  And, you can use some of your standard search tricks to manage the analysis, like adding a negative term to limit the output (san luis obispo -county).  Enjoy and profit!
