Google B-BURNS!

[spamsink]

Google announced a new service - Google Trends - today. It allows to see the trends of world's interest in particular topics and to compare interest in several topics side by side, and per region. The main page - http://google.com/trends - suggests a few inane searches, but try some a little more controversial, e.g.

http://google.com/trends?q=abortion%2Ccontraception
http://google.com/trends?q=corruption%2Cintegrity
http://google.com/trends?q=death%2Cbirth
http://google.com/trends?q=religion
http://google.com/trends?q=christianity%2Cislam
http://google.com/trends?q=god%2Cdevil

Look at the cities AND the regions. Prepare to be surprised.

One of sports training teachers back in my school in Moscow used to say that there're two official lies in our lives - weather forecast and statistics... I tend to agree with him completely.

The links you e.gave I followed. Mildly surprised I was. Astonishment caused it not...

Stop speaking like Yoda lest you'll soon look like him.

Just for the record, I am taller than you... ;-)

I meant the face.

So Cema did show you the pictures he's taken while we met?

Not yet (if he has posted a link, I have not seen it); I hope he will when we meet in 2 weeks.

Oh, it went public! Cool. We played with it last week.

Try to compare Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
