Trends

I am a self proclaimed list addict. I make my own lists to check off. Just look at my page. So you can imagine my delight when I find the new Google Trends feature. The basic principle of this thing is to find out what people are searching for. Of course it has a set of filters that takes out all the spam and porn. It leaves a bunch of pretty funny results on there. It's funny what people want to find out. Right about now, the one thing people are more curious about is Stone Phillips. Yup, your friendly NBC anchor that's being "downsized". Ok well, I wouldn't know that if I didn't look at the list. I would love to know how the algorithms work on this thing. I can't imagine it to be awfully complicated, but it's not anything I would have thought up.
