Detecting trends is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a number of data sources, data regarding choices of people at a number of specified events and public places and determining, according to a number of clustering algorithms, trend clusters according to data received from the data sources cross-referenced to defined event types and place types. Customer profile data and preferences are received from a number of registered customers through user interfaces, and a number of customer clusters according to the customer profile data and preferences are determined according to clustering algorithms. Correlation rules are calculated between the trend clusters and the customer clusters. A number of trend predictions and recommendations are then sent to a user regarding a number of specified events or time frames according to the correlation rules.
