Google Truths

It's called "Google Trends", and what it is to the unitiated is a highly amusing and interesting tool that...
...analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results -- our search-volume graph.
... by country.

In other words, you can find out what country has the highest percentage of users looking for terms like "Da Vinci Code", or "Farang" or any other word you can think of.

The most interesting findings, according to this article:
While Google emphasizes that its efforts to protect individuals' privacy, the new site does nothing to protect the collective privacy of nations, if such a thing exists - the right of the British to conceal that they look up "handcuffs" most often, or the right of China's leaders to hide that Mandarin ranks second only to English as the language used to look up "democracy," or the right of other officials to hide that Arabic-speaking users rarely look up "democracy."
The most interesting tidbit that Andrew Sullivan came across is that Pakistanis, Egyptians, Iranians, and other Muslims are the most likely persons on the planet to be googling for the word "sex". (One of the most likely persons to be googling for "gay sex" on the planet would be from Saudi Arabia... where gay sex is punishable by death.)

Heh. This makes two google posts in a week. I'm such a big ol' sloppy Google kiss-ass.
