Keyword search trends: "Ruby on Rails" v. "Django": http://trends.google.com/trends?q=django,+%22ruby+on+rails%22&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 http://trends.google.com/trends?q=django,+%22ruby+on+rails%2... Update: Yes, I know it's a rough estimate, and if you can find a way to do a more refined filter on Google Trends, please share it and make us all the wiser. "Python Django" doesn't provide good results for comparison. Update (2): Filtered out some of the noise: http://trends.google.com/trends?q=django+-restaurant,+%22ruby+on+rails%22&ctab=-1&geo=all&date=all http://trends.google.com/trends?q=django+-restaurant,+%22rub... -- still looking for a way to exclude the musician from results

  Ok, I said the parent comment link was biased in Favor of Django, but your si biased in favor of rails, most ppl looking for Ror search for "Ruby on Rail" (Which is its proper name), but most ppl looking for Django search for Django(proper name), not python Django.

I like and use Django, but thats a 100% wrong trend as about 50% of Django searches are searching for Django the musician.

  How do you know that?

    Look at the first graph (django vs rails) Django the framework wasn't released until 2005. So if you assume the level of searches for "other django's" is consistent then about half of django's traffic isn't for the framework. You can almost tell when the framework was released by the upward trend in the graph. Of course this is with a very rough visual analysis ;-P

But lots of people just refer to it as 'Rails' ...

  Exactly ... when I'm searching for an aswer re:RoR, I don't think I've every included "Ruby on Rails" in my query.

I wonder why Russia scores so high in those. I've never thought we have any non-trivial number of rails activity.

Try adding "-Reinhardt" to filter some of the musician results out.

That looks more realistic, but there's still a significant amount of noise pre-2005, which is when Django was released according to Wikipedia. If you mentally subtract the fairly steady amount of traffic pre-2005, you'd have a pretty accurate estimate I would guess.

    Django ranks much higher here in non-English languages and non-English speaking countries. The two search terms are ranking very close in SF and in English. Regardless of how interesting the trends could be, there is still too much noise to draw any meaningful conclusion. (And yes, I also search "rails" not "ruby on rails" when left on my own.

This one squares with the way things seem to me: http://trends.google.com/trends?q=ruby+rails%2C+django+python&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 http://trends.google.com/trends?q=ruby+rails%2C+django+pytho... Rails slacking off, particularly as it gets more mature and in the middle of the Rails 3 refactoring. Django gaining some steam.
