Google Zeitgeist

I confess, I love google and every now and then you will find a post relating to Google. Here's another one, about one of their service that I discovered of late known as Google Zeitgeist.
Google Zeitgeist compiles all the tidbits of information relating to searches made on Google to unravel search patterns, trends and often surprises. Here, you can find the most obscure search patterns such as most popular brunette search for the month or the most popular cities across the world.

This is what Google say about this service:

Pulling together interesting search trends and patterns requires Google’s human and computing power together. Search statistics are automatically generated based on the millions of searches conducted on Google over a given period of time - weekly, monthly, and annually. With some help from humans, and a pigeon or two when they have time, these statistics and trends make their way from the depths of Google's hard drives to become the Google Zeitgeist report.

We should note that in compiling the Zeitgeist, no individual searcher's information is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot of interesting queries people are asking – some over time, some within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition. We appreciate the contribution all Google users make to these fascinating bits of information.

Check out Google Zeitgeist for some interesting and novel search patterns!

Arpit.
