Google wants you to follow hot search trends in real time

Never mind waiting until after the fact to find out what people are searching for online — Google wants you to know what’s hot right fricking now. The internet giant has introduced real-time tracking to Google Trends, so you can follow a search frenzy as it happens. If you want to know which basketball team is dominating the buzz over the past hour (spoiler: it’s the Golden State Warriors), you just have to narrow the scope accordingly to see a minute-by-minute graph. The trend page has also been redesigned to put a bigger emphasis on the latest stories, and you can dive deeper into niche subjects and specific regions. Yes, you’re still looking at charts, but this refresh at least gives you a good excuse to visit Google Trends more than once in a blue moon.
