Your terms - statistical methodology - do not have enough search volume to show graphs.

Anyway. Google Trends is an interesting new feature that gives some fun hits, and I think that was my main reason for starting this thread.

For instance, for some reason, the interest in monkeys and the Arctic region have both increased a lot lately, and were particularly hot around the turn of the year. :)

I like when something just hits the ceiling and the bounces straight down like that.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 13 May 2006 17:30 (twenty years ago)

Nevermind, it didn't bounce straight down, but it went straight up and then bounced off the ceiling. (I am not assuming this refers to ILM.)

I was in a Polish room on Slsk and there was a lot of quoting from rap going on there, esp. G-Unit : )

This thing really needs to implement some sort of actual values for the Y-axis. The relativity thing is cool and all but, I mean, compare this comparison of seemingly popular social networking/blog/whatever sites:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=friendster%2C+flickr%2C+livejournal%2C+diaryland&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

to this one, with MySpace in play:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=friendster%2C+flickr%2C+livejournal%2C+diaryland%2C+myspace&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

Of course, I really wish this thing went back a few years further...how fun would it be to compare an assortment of hype graphs? You could learn to predict a band's future based on what shape their curve is - is Clap Your Hands Say Yeah an Andrew WK, an Interpol, or a, um, Lily Allen?

Someone is going to get very rich implementing this idea. I'm serious. I hope they send me a check.
