Hi,

http://www.google.com/trends?q=grass+gis&ctab=1&date=all&geo=all
"Google Trends aims to provide insights into broad search patterns.
It is based upon just a portion of our searches, and several
approximations are used when computing your results.
Please keep this in mind when using it."

A trend diagram over time is shown there.
It's fairly Italy biased in my opinion...

not quite sure it is meaningful (or, if it is, is depressing, eg:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=linux&ctab=1&date=all&geo=all

You have to compare the *right* words!

http://www.google.com/trends?q=grass%2C+arcgis&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all

Anyway, not all people are looking after "GRASS", but after something
like

http://www.google.com/trends?q=free+gis&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all

But the trend seems to be the same. Why?
