While this is completely unrelated to movie reviews, Google Trends is one of the most interesting pages on the internet that I’ve found. It graphs searches over a time period to show their volume, and also shows what the most popular cities searched on that topic. Some interesting searches I’ve found:
- ”Osama”, most popular city? Washington D.C.
- “Pepto Bismol”, most popular city? Orlando, Florida (must be those retirees)
- “Suri” shows a *huge* spike right around the announcement of the baby (duh)
- “God”, most popular city was St. Louis, MO
- “Goats” featured Australia and New Zealand occupying 5 out of the 10 top cities, including #1
- “Tumor” … Chennai, India, with a spike when Jonnie Cochran died (I guess he’s a big star there?)
- “Katrina” was completely off the charts around the hurricane, with top searches coming from New Orleans and Baton Rouge
- Searching for any specific date (sans year) brings up annual spikes
- Hmm…. Australia had 4 out of the top 5 searches, including #1, for the phrase “bomb making.”
- “Michael Jackson”… top two cities? Lima, Peru and Caracas, Venezuela !?
Post any other interesting ones you find!
