Why does TriMet (the company that runs the bus system here in Portland (and only Portland)) have a section that you HAVE to fill out for what country you want your bus passes sent to? Are there a bunch of people from outside the USA ordering bus tickets and willy nilly having them sent overseas? Is this really a problem?
I just ran across one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Have you discovered Google Trends? Go to www.google.com/trends.
About Google Trends
With Google Trends, you can compare the world's interest in your favorite topics. Enter up to five topics and see how often they've been searched on Google over time. Google Trends also shows how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories and in which geographic regions people have searched for them most.
About Hot Trends
With Hot Trends, you can see a snapshot of what's on the public's collective mind by viewing the fastest-rising searches for different points of time. You can see a list of today's top 100 fastest-rising search queries in the U.S. You can also select a recent date in history to see what the top rising searches were and what the search activity looked like over the course of that day. We update Hot Trends hourly.
