Search “Podcast” on Google Trends<\/a>, and click the Regions tab you will get the following diagram,<\/p>\n

\"Singapore-podcast.gif\"
\nSingapore tops the list.<\/p>\n

That means, out of all the search on google, Singapore has higher percentage of Podcast search than the United States, a country where the Podcast was born.<\/p>\n

Does that mean Singapornean are more aware of Podcast? It could be.<\/p>\n

But there are some factors besides listenership may affect the list.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Listeners use other search engines to look for Podcast. For example, users in the States may prefer iTunes or Yahoo than Google as the Podcast search platform.<\/li>\n
  2. Users in other countries search so many other topics that dilute the Podcast search.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Google Trends<\/a> is a very interesting tool to know the users’ behavior on internet.<\/p>\n

    Search “China”, you will find Singapore is just behind Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

    But when I search “Asian babe”, Singapore is in the second place too!<\/p>\n

    “Asian babe” is a term used in porn graphics search. Does that mean Singapornean are hypocrites and sex maniac? It could be. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    But when I search “Play boy”, South America countries occupy the top 10 list.<\/p>\n

    One possible explaination: different countries use different terms to search porn pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
