What do the colors mean?
I don't know, but can't help thinking this site would suit Microsoft/Bing really well.

Oh shit I said the B word.

It's probably similar to the search volume bar on the normal page: https://www.google.com/trends/hottrends
The colours just look to iterate through Red, Yellow, Green, Blue for each search term per box.
If this is the same thing I remember, then yes, it's just cycling through the colors.
I think it's iterating through queries as well. I can't imagine Hebrew is such a "hot" language and that is used so heavily, so that I see the same query repeated over and over (population of Israel has about 7 million people, where only 5-6 would probably use Hebrew as their main language...).
It never makes a request to server after loading. It's not real time and it repeats the same queries again after some time. This is just a good looking design, nothing more.
"How To Close Apps On Ios7" trending on google search... amusing
Jumped on that keyword. Hopefully, it will help someone out. No ads or nonsense. Just a $2 contribution to the internet. Haha. I have so many of these that it hurts.

2$? Where do you get domain names that cheap?
Godaddy. Promo code cjcRMN199. Comes out to $2.17 after ICANN fees.
I thought everyone had seen this 6 months ago when it made the rounds.

This isn't updating in realtime, the typing is faked, they filter results, and the results are based on a ranking system that favors change from the previous day, not most search, and it downranks things that have trended in the past.

Basically this is just a pretty demo page that uses visuals to look more impressive than it is. It is still just google.com/trends in a harder to read wrapper that makes a better screen saver.

liked it .. is it really real time?
hmm .. so sad .. would be fun it was real time
