I find delicious.com a much better tool than  google when looking for good and recent information. If you go to the popular section of delicious you can really find some very updated information. If you are looking for a special tag like photo, you add photo just after popular :

http://delicious.com/popular/photo

This is very handy when you want to do some research for your blog or when you are looking for a topic you want to blog upon.

Then I recently found popacular.com. Based on delicious bookmarks. This site delivers what has been most bookmarked in the latest hour, 8 hours, a day, a week, a month, and since the dawn of time!

Regarding the last hour we can the Google Trends Flu in third position, which I recently quote in my French blog. I dit get the information from popacular in fact. At the time you are reading this post, the google flu trends bookmark should have disappeared.

There is also the same for the last twitts, but at the time I tried  it did not work.
