The MSN Search Insider - See What People Are Searching For, Interactively

Permenant Link To: The MSN Search Insider - See What People Are Searching For, Interactively


There's been a lot of talk the last couple days about Microsoft MSN's new search functionality. I've looked at, and have yet to be overly impressed, although there is one feature about it that I'm going to look next week that I think is pretty revolutionary, so watch for that...

Anyway, as I was playing around with the new MSN search, I decided to click around and check out some more of MSN-dom. 

By accident, I stumbled across the MSN Search Insider, which looks like this:

MSN Search Insider

This neat little tool allows you to interactively see what people are searching for. This tool offers three main functionalities:

  • Duels - Compares the popularity between two related keywords/keyphrases
  • The Top 200 - The top 200 must searched for keywords/keyphrases (on a side note, there are a lot of bad spellers out there!)
  • Top Movers - What keywords/keyphrases have grown in popularity for a particular category lately

For those of you who may not be aware of it, knowing the general public's mindset can help you discover hot markets for products and services. This is a great tool for helping you do that.

I know it's easy to get off on another tangent, and it's not really that big of a deal, but try to confine your comments to the discussion at hand. :)
