More about the Google Zeitgeist
Pulling together interesting search trends and patterns requires Google’s human
and computing power together. Search statistics are automatically generated based
on the millions of searches conducted on Google over a given period of time -
weekly, monthly, and annually. With some help from humans, and a pigeon or two
when they have time, these statistics and trends make their way from the depths
of Google's hard drives to become the Google Zeitgeist report.
We should note that in compiling the Zeitgeist, no individual searcher's information
is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot
of interesting queries people are asking – some
over time, some within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition. We appreciate the contribution
all Google users make to these fascinating bits of information.
