Google Domestic Trends is pretty fascinating
kek | September 23, 2009While I was wandering on the internet and checking on my investment portfolio, I noticed that Google added “Google Domestic Trends” to the left sidebar in the Google Finance page. Upon opening the sidebar, I became incredibly fascinated by the charts. They track queries related to key search terms by category and indexed to January 1, 2004. You can overlay stocks or major indices like the Nasdaq or Dow over these trends. Behold the power of Google mining billions of people’s worth of search data. My favorite categories are “Investing” and “Unemployment.” Five years from now, people will look back on this in awe.
