Google Trends

Most people have seen Google trends, but I just thought I'd mention it here after seeing some interesting comparisons on CyberNet. It's fun to see how things compare in terms of what people are searching for, and now you can even see why searches go up and down as the page lists important events in the timelines of your search terms. As a demonstration here's a graph to compare Tony Blair and Gordon Brown:

It's quite predictible where the spike would be, but handily you can see each event on the page, as well as view graphs for where the searches came from (unsurprisingly most for this search came from the UK) and the languages they were done in. To search yourself, visit the site and enter however many terms you want to compare (or just a single one if that's what you want) with commas separating them. Let me know if you find any funny results.
