Googles Tops Tens

I think Google may really be all-knowing, the Wizard of Oz. Well, maybe I am exaggerating a bit but after the experiment I conducted with the new Google Trend search I am beginning to believe that Google is a whole lot smarter than all of us are. Google knows what we are thinking and where that thinking is happening most often, because every day millions of us type in our search desires; the sordid and sexy as well as the spiritual, the nonsensical, the trivial, the informational...you get the idea. Whatever we are thinking is revealed in what we search for with Google.
In June Google released specific data about every search made with the Google search engine, and all you have to do, what I did today, is go to the Google search engine and type in "Google Trends". Once there, put in any search you want and try to guess which city in the world most often made the same search. So, for example, by putting in the word "Islam" you will see that the number one place that is interested in that very controversial religion is not in one of the Mid East countries but in one of my favorite places, Jakarta, Indonesia. Surprisingly, of the top ten city hits for Islam, two were European. More people in Brussels and Amsterdam were interested in searching Islam than any city in any Mid East country. Allah must be displeased.
I decided to see if I could guess which part of the world or which city would have the most interest in each search I typed in, and I was often surprised by the results. Guess which city came in first for a search on "sex". It was those same Islamic searchers. Cairo was number one, followed by four cities in India. Apparently, while those Islamics are researching Islam they are thinking a lot about sex. No American or Asian city appeared in the top ten sex search and the top European city was at number nine, Warsaw, Poland. I never knew those Poles were so sexy. Apparently Australians have bad breath. Number one and two on my search of "bad breath' were Perth and Brisbane. And Sydney was number four. Oh my.....the travel guides never mentioned that before.
I next searched the food of the Gods, donuts. As expected all of the Top Ten cities with donut fanatics were American, with Providence, Rhode Island being number one. Hmmmmmmm I should visit Providence when I finish this E mail. I immediately looked up the antithesis of donuts by entering my least favorite food into Google. Yep, I searched 'tofu'. What a shock to find that nine of the top ten search sites for tofu were Americans.
Sigh... I am thinking about defecting (probably to India where all that sex is). When I put in the name of the woman who was made famous by her porno video, her inherited wealth and her overall stupidity, 'Paris Hilton', the number one and two cities interested in Paris are those bad breath Australians. Melbourne was number one, Sydney number two and just about the entire world followed in equal numbers. It seems that Paris the person is more on the minds of people everywhere than is Paris the city. But fame comes to some who don't deserve it. "Viagra' brought eight European and two American cities in the top ten, with England holding "down" (as opposed to the "up" power of Viagra) the top two.
Hmmmmm No Indians on this one. Those Indians really must be masters of sex. My "football" search showed unanimity. All 10 top hits were cities in England. And I had to end my searching with one about the world's biggest imbecile, George Bush. I thought that all of the ten would be from the U.S. Nine were, but surprisingly, the number one place interested in George Bush according to Google is London.
Well.....Many Americans would love to send Bush to London for good, and you can bet we wouldn't bother searching for him if we did. Have fun with your search!
