Google Zeitgeist 2005
Google has released their Zeitgeist 2005. Zeitgeist is German and would translate roughly as “spirit of the times”. The idea is to give a snapshot of what people are thinking about and searching for over the course of the last year.
They’ve done some interesting graphs as well of search terms when events happen.
I like checking the zeitgeist from time to time. The yearly version has more detail than the other (quarterly?) version that they release.
