If you were the "bitcoin predictor", when would you say that bitcoin will reach 15 to 18 percent adoption?
Well, Dwolla is quite US-centric as far as I know and probably doesn't offer something different than PayPal (which is NOT included on the trends list...).
Ripple and the freshly launched "Masterpass" by Mastercard might be something to watch as well as Google wallet.

Good points, duly noted.

I know, yet another "google trends" thread... but please bear with me. I want to look at search volume for "bitcoin" in the context of various money-transfer options.
As you can see, interest in Bitcoin has always been higher than in Dwolla. Recently we have beaten ukash as well, and are breathing behind moneygram's neck... Even IBAN doesn't seem to far ahead.
Granted, people search for "bitcoin" for various reasons, some unrelated to money-transfer schemes, but this comparison is still a good way to understand the level of bitcoin awareness and interest. When somebody asks you "what percent of people has actually heard of Bitcoin?" you can say it's comparable to the percent of people who heard of Moneygram...
