Identify Trends via Advanced Search Techniques
by Martin Neumann on July 29, 2006
As an information product developer you are always on the lookout for emerging trends, because if you get on a growing trend early and start developing products you end up getting the early adopter advantage and that could be the difference between a massive hit of products or ones that are just one of the pack.
Which brings me to this useful post and thread at the Small Business Ideas Forum - Spot emerging-trends by search-engine strategies.
Basically, the post discusses using various phrases in your search to drill down to potential topics.
The techniques discussed there have already gone into my product developers bag of tools - and I urge you to do the same.
