Fascinating, right?

Full image here:

What’s interesting is the use of the big ones:

1. WordPress
2. Plugin
3. Widget
4. WP

Followed by “post,” “posts,” “google,” “twitter,” “simple,” and “for.”

I suppose this makes sense because of the SEO value of making sure that people know it’s “WordPress” and a “Plugin” or “Widget” but if it sits in the repository already then you those things are assumed.

What would be neat, over time, is to analyze how this trend changes as the web changes – now wouldn’t that be a telling study on the focus of users and developer’s response to those user’s needs?
