Is Google Trends Outdated?

I have recently been using Google Trends a lot, and have noticed an increasingly large number of queries (and websites) are returning the “insufficient data” error response. The weird part is that many of these queries are getting over 10,000 queries/month in Google and many similar queries (similar in the sense that they have similar query volumes) show data.

I’ll be looking more into this over the next few days (and will likely refrain from recommending the tool as a viable traffic pattern estimate), however I did spot something of curiosity at the bottom of the page. It appears that Google Trends was last actualized (the page date stamp, at least) back in 2008.

Could this be a clue?
