I pointed out last week how awful Google Trends UK was - because it was full of American results. In some good news, Yahoo's trending list seems a lot better (although it doesn't give much in the way of explanation of how it's put together).
Here's the Yahoo trending list from uk.yahoo.com on monday night. They all look very UK, including Corrie and Man U vs Newcastle...

And here's the Google trending list at the same time, featuring a plane crash in America, David Hasselhoff's roasting on a US comedy show, a US TV show (Weeds), and a film that's in, er, America.

Please, please fix it.
Thanks for this. I started using Google trends and had not even heard of the top 5 categories. Will be using yahoo trends from now and looking out to see if there are any better. We all get dazzled by the big brands don't we?
