Google Trends


Today several people pointed out to me Google Trends. This service shows you from where and when people search on Google for certain items. So I typed in "Sinn des Lebens." Well, the result didn't really surprise me. Consequently I continued my search with "Selbstmord." Also no big surprises there.

BTW: it is possible to compare several search items. You can ask e.g. if there is a correlation between "Sinn" and "Doktorarbeit": The interpretation of this graph is left to the reader.

How can I finish this post with something less depressing? People search for "Plätzchen" and "Kekse" mainly in December. Didn't really work, did it?
