Internet zeitgeist

Google has an interesting way to see what is on the mind of internet users around the world. For instance, Paris Hilton the number one search of users in Sweden, Netherlands and Germany, but doesn't even register in the top 10 in her home country. In China, the term "mother's day" is a popular search, while "used cars" are on the minds of the Japanese. The band slipknot seems to be popular in Brazil as are Star Wars and Avril Lavigne.
