How do we define popularity/trend? (jobs, qualifications, usage, tags,

How large is this sliding window? (too fine grained a resolution drowns

How do we categorize/group related stuff? (Does .NET or ASP get included
both in C#, F#, Visual Basic?)
I always like to have a look at StackOverflow trends as it's tech
agnostic
and a high-traffic site.

There is no shortage on Java jobs, but again, this depends on how you
define popular/trend:

Not against StackOverflow - another good source. So, my point is: both
LinkedIn and StackOverflow (and possibly others) offer a data source with
richer semantics than a google search, like Tiobe does. Of course, even LI
and SO would need to be post-processed by some statistics-savvy people to
produce some meaningful trend. Is somebody doing? If yes, where? If not,
why? Perhaps the only serious trend analysis are done by professional
agencies and aren't free, but offered as paid services?
