This morning I was pulling up the google external tool to find that Google has insufficient data to display search volumn information.

I’ve checked the blogosphere and haven’t yet seen anyone else picking up on it, and it isn’t in the Google Blog yet-

UPDATE: Here is Google’s customer support response to the issue: Received 8/12/2008
