Title: Anyone knows when google updates trends?
Post by: zby on October 09, 2011, 07:34:14 PM
Currently it is up - but I would like to know when they are supposed to update it. 

I know people say it is a lagging indicator - but I think that some people trade by it and common sense dictates that people first need to learn about bitcoin before they buy it.

The more bitcoins people own the more likely they are to tell others and the more likely that person investigates bitcoin. (up to a certain point)
This effect is stronger so there is a reason for it to lag behind.

the 30 day graph is updated every day, 4 lines/weeks and 7 notches ;)

Is there any exact time when they usually update this?

As far as I can see it has not updated since Oct 8th.
At the time it was looking like trending back up, also on google insignts for search (http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=bitcoin&date=today%203-m&cmpt=q)

Anyone know why its not updated?

Google stopped caring about bitcoins.

if we look as this month time span
http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoins&ctab=0&geo=all&date=2011-10&sort=0

we can see that data goes only up to October 5th, lagging behind 2 weeks

there is sharp decline of countries searching bitcoin in the last couple of month
