Google Trends

This is super fun amazing! haha. Things like this are why I think people still have a special place in their hearts for google. You can now see graphs and data about what people are searching for, like the zeitgeist except for whatever terms you want. Wikipedia vs. Britannica? Sure, how about that same query only in mainland China?

This is a pretty big deal actually, wait a month and news will start reporting on this as a source. “Searched on google spiked today on ‘bird flu’ amid news that blah blah…” Just wait.
