Those Ruby Google trenders again

Those ruby google trenders again. As said before, if everyone is already using Java, noone will search for “Java” in Google ;-)

The search volume is basically the increase in mindshare, not the mindshare. So Java has probably much more mindshare than AND the mindshare is increasing twice as fast. And if you search for ruby alone in Google trends, then it’s clear that a lot of search volume comes from the word “ruby” not from people searching for the programming language (News found for Ruby includes “Ruby’s remount row rumbles on”, “Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.28″ … Compare this to the Java news which mostly concerns the Java programming language)
