Here in Kirkland we are blessed in having a large number of Google workers. It is always exciting to hear of what innovations they are working on. Often I am thinking "wow what a great idea" or "wonder why that had not been thought of before?" They are sharp cookies. At least the ones who we talk to at the library are.
As suggested in the lesson plan I played with Google Trends. Found something interesting. Most of the people who had searched for the term "Albino" came from Italy. Those who searched for "bowler" came from Australia. Does that mean that The Albino Bowler is popular worldwide? I would like to think so. However this does not show the statistics for both words being used together. This would help in deciding what key words one should use when posting a website. But does little in the way of seeing how popular that site would be on that particular subject.
