Conduit Launches Community Trends Index

Posted on October 29, 2007 Written by Bill Hartzer

ConduitConduit has released the first monthly results of their new Community Trends index where you can see what online communities are searching for.

Community Trends, like StumbleUpon, is moving beyond automated Web discovery to offer a way to see what others find useful or interesting on the Internet-–but the main difference, between Conduit’s Community Trends index and StumbleUpon and Google Trends is that Community Trends is based on online communities–the largest and most active ones in the Conduit Network, grouped into categories called community verticals exclusively by Conduit.

Conduit Community Trends

The Conduit Network consists of more than 12 million users who connect real-time with over 140,000 publishers via the Conduit community toolbar solution, which comes equipped with a set of community functionalities (such as chat, RSS, radio and messages) as well as community search and Web search powered by Google.

Conduit has the unique ability to identify community trends, regardless of community size. Each month, Conduit’s Community Trends will highlight energetic community verticals, such as this month’s Green Earth communities and in order to highlight small communities with interests that may be more off the beaten track, Community Trends will include a niche vertical each month. This month features the Club Penguin communities, built around the popular children’s game.

Community Trends, also like Google’s Hot Trends, identifies what the public is thinking about. The main difference, however, is that Community Trends is based on communities–the largest and most active ones in the Conduit Network, grouped into categories called community verticals exclusively by Conduit. The Conduit Network consists of more than 12 million users who connect real-time with over 140,000 publishers via the Conduit community toolbar solution, which comes equipped with a set of community functionalities (such as chat, RSS, radio and messages) as well as community search and Web search powered by Google.

October Highlights the Green Earth Communities
Each month, Conduit’s Community Trends will highlight one of these energetic community verticals, such as this month’s Green Earth communities. In September/October, news of Al Gore’s 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his crusade to raise awareness about climate change drove Green Earth community searches for “Al Gore” and “climate,” among others. Additional top searches in this community vertical included “nuclear,” “dolphins” and “globalization.”

The data below is a sampling of the full Community Trends index. It shows the top five popular searches in several of the index’s community verticals. Additional community verticals include Sports, Education, Web Games, Online Radio, Jobs and Shopping.
