Google Trends

I thought this was interesting. This shows who, where, and how many searches made for something on the web. I decided to search look up Simtropolis and this is what I found. Enjoy.

Sort of reminds me of something called googlefight where you type in two words to see which has the most results. Its pretty cool

You can see the downhill trend of Sim City searches, as well as a spike of when the upgrade to Simtropolis happened. Pretty neat.

Check it out

I remember the first thing I ever typed into Google Trends was "George Bush" and "American Idol". Guess which one was the winner. Especially relevent considering more people voted for American Idol than any presidential election in history.

It's always interesting if you find a search that has serious fluctuations - such as the Bush and American Idol one.

notice how sim city spikes up during the holiday season

And the reason why American Idol does those drops is..(if you look at the news Articles to the graph) that they ended a season...so it will become ignored...then come back up again once the show is on again...

I miss the german community and BERLIN in this Google search? Where are we? The german forum sites are not that crowded?

Well, it didn't surprise me that it was only Europe and North America with the most people looking up Simtropolis online.

It surprises me to see that Sweden is so high up on the list. But I guess we swedes always 'search after websites instead of just guessing the adress. I can't say that I've contributed to the statistics, I always guess

Wrong, actually.  More people voted for all the American Idol candidates than for the winning candidate in a Presidential Election.  Approximately 63,000,000 voted in the American Idol finals, and President Bush recieved somewhere around 59,000,000 votes in the 2004 election.  Senator Kerry definatly got more than 4,000,000 votes.

mambomumba: lol, same here.
