Trendpedia
Trendpedia (beta) is described as a "Social media monitoring, buzz tracking, brand measurement and blog trend search" tool.
It allows you to search for up to 5 different queries at the same time and display the results in 3 different ways:
- as a hitlist for each query
- as a trend chart that shows the number of posts per day for each query
- as a share of buzz chart that shows the number of posts for a query as a percentage of the total number of posts for all queries
On the front page you enter queries separated by commas into the text box and set labels for each query. On the charts page there are two columns: one for labels and one for queries. The label column is displayed on the charts, the query column is sent to the search engine.
Trendpedia also allows for boolean syntax (AND, OR, NOT grouped with brackets) and "" for phrases and supports searches in English, French, Dutch and "Any language" blogs.
