HD Radio. Anybody?

Apparently not. I know that the guy with the totally anti-HD Radio blog posted a link to the compete.com charts but I much prefer using Google Trends. Google being the largest search engine their Trends site is a pretty accurate view of what is hot and what is not in terms of what people are actually searching for.

Here is the Google Trends chart for Sirius, XM, HD Radio and Slacker:

Yep, nobody gives a good fat damn about (NBC Universal, Hulu.com or) HD Radio.

Slacker is a "slacker" as well.

That is a bit of a shock given the hype and excitement that existed not so long ago. I guess missing their target for releasing their portable by 4 months and counting had a bigger impact than they thought it would.
