Blue = Chocolate Ice Cream

Red = Vanilla Ice Cream

Google has an interesting new site called Google Trends. It allows you to review search patterns from the Google search database. In the above example, I asked Google Trends to compare searches for Chocolate v. Vanilla Ice Cream (I like Vanilla.) The site also provides information on the countries where most of the searches come from and the language most often used. Try it out. You can compare anything; Yankee’s and Red Sox, Math and Science, Dogs and Cats etc. Share some of your findings in the comments section.
