By the same measure, then, Hacker News is down about the same: http://trends.google.com/websites?q=news.ycombinator.com&...

Or, more likely, these trends sites are a waste of time.

edit: but still nothing dramatic i think

Google Trends data is for search patterns, not unique visitors. It means that fewer people now search for "techcrunch.com," which is a good thing.

the trends are not "searches" trends, they are "web sites" trends, which gives you an idea about daily uniques visitors to the site.
