Google Zeitgeist 2007
Topic: Society 9:53 pm EST, Dec 19, 2007

Be sure to flip through the subsections on the left.

We're bidding adieu to 2007 with a look back at the breaking news, the big events and the must-have gadgets that captivated us this year (give or take a few weeks; we compile this list by early December). To get a glimpse of what's been on our collective consciousness, we mined billions of search queries to discover what sorts of things rose to the top. We encourage you to check out our findings to see if you, too, reflect the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times.

This is surprisingly lacking in rigor. They don't provide a scale for the vertical axis on their plots. Is it linear? Is the bottom zero? It would appear that Radiohead's free album was a bigger story than the iPhone. Or maybe people just went directly to Apple and didn't bother to search.

Who/what/how is interesting, and the plot comparing Hannah Montana to the Rolling Stones is amusing. I'm dubious of the parkour entry under Fitness.
