When you do a Google search, you'll get more results for "bobble" than for popcorn stitch. If you find out you get several names for a stitch, search the alternate name too because it may be the more common name. A bramble or trinity stitch is similar, but not quite the same; the bobble is larger than the bramble.
Here's a good video of how to make a bobble:
This is a nice, shoret description of a popcorn/bobble: http://www.knitting-crochet.com/terms.html
This is a step-by-step photo tutorial that's a big help: http://www.ehow.com/how_2284014_make-bobble-knitting.html
knittinghelp.com is probably the best, single source of basic knitting help and there are videos of how to do basic stitches, increases and decreases and they are shown in both English and Continental style. For more complex stitches, you'll just have to rely on what Google mines for you.

The best on-line source of knitting stitches is knittingfool.com (http://www.knittingfool.com/pages/Alpha.guest.cfm?CFID=47935635&CFTOKEN=97536403).
Many of the stitches are free, but if you pony up for a membership, you get a color picture and instructions for over 2000 knitting stitches. I like knitting fool better than Barbara Walker knitting treasury books because they are in color. I know that many people like black and white photos better than color, but for me; give me color any day. It is like reality versus not.

Another berry/bobble is the raspberry stitch: http://knitting-and.com/wiki/Raspberry_Stitch
So, there are popcorn, bobble, bramble, blackberry, trinity and raspberry stitches. Most sites seem to say popcorn and bobble are the same; bramble and trinity are the same, with maybe blackberry; then there is raspberry. I've seen instructions for smaller bobbles than the standard which probably fall into one of the other categories, but I've never compared the kinds of stitches to see if they differ.
Since I've started on this forum, I've learned a lot of stitches, found a lot of patterns and seen some gorgeous examples of knitting and/or crochet but haven't gotten anything else, such as knitting, accomplished.
If you want your knitting to resemble some crochet stitches, there are several cluster stitches such as daisy and cluster that do, along with some other faux crochet, knitting stitches stitches. I've found a couple that are on the member portion of knittingfool.com, but daisy instructions are available free and probably cluster too.
