[Google Reader]
To tell the truth, learned how to use the google reader in the fall term's CM class. But I could not understand how to use it after all. However, my question was solved today. Google reader can check own favorite website, blog and news site easily. Moreover, we can share own information with friends.
[Google trends]
Google trends is a useful, especially, I think this tools shows at it’s best in writhing academic essay. Google trends can see a word’s trend that how a word is searched in the google using a bar graph. Moreover, I can see the ranking which country is the most searched the word. Of course it could compare two or three words at once. For instance, this bar graph shows the trend of the Japanese music pop group, blue is Morning musume, red is EXILE and yellow is AKB48. According to this graph, Morning musume was craze among Japan in 2004 and now their popularity is going down. On the other hand, AKB48 is the latest craze since 2006. Also EXILE maintain a constant popularity. Using this tool, I found the Japanese music trend.These tools are so interesting and put my new knowledge of CM class to practical use in my campus and daily life.
