Great read I didn't even know about msn tools!!(although I do wonder if the results are mainly based on US figures? or is it global?).  Very useful article and it has been printed off and placed in my "keepers" file :)

One of the best articles on Keyword research.

A nice comprehensive look at keyword research and ways to keep yourself focused on the big picture. I regularly use Topix.net and Google Trends during the keyword research process and even for doing quick checks to help narrow it down when I've got two or three choices I'm considering. Here's a summary snippet from Searching Search Histories: Trends and Topix that I wrote last September:

Use Google Trends to:

  • discover what geographic region searches more for a particular term
  • compare search popularity among five terms at a time
  • view how the popularity of a term has grown over a longer period of time than a year

Use Topix.net to:

  • look at the most recent, up-to-date popularity news trends for a particular term
  • have more control over case sensitive searches
  • more easily eliminate what you don't want to see in the search results
  • visualize trends in news and/or blogs
Since then, Google Trends is now updated every day and you can often get a decent graph of trend history even for the past 30 days. They've also added a top ten hot trends to the page with a link to the top hundred and a change date option as well.
