Google's Zeitgeist
Ever wanted to know what people were searching for on Google? Google's Zeitgeist is a surprisingly deep resource for what others are searching, with 45 categories and nearly every country Google serves.Not surprisingly, this week's winners include Doom 3 and the Olympics, but more interestingly is the week's biggest loser, M. Night Shyamalan's poorly reviewed The Village. At first, I was confused that Catwoman (movies) and Chad Michael Murray (men) are in the top 5 in their particular categories, but then I realized those were image searches, and I can understand pictures of Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit being a whole lot more popular than the movie itself.
