Charting web search trends

Google Labs recently released a new tool called Google Trends, which lists the number of search requests of any keyword divided by cities, world regions and languages... it's nothing really substantial, just fun to play around with. It naturally assumes the search is done in English (hence you don't see South Korea and Japan topping the charts as much as one would expect these vastly connected countries to be ;)

As expected, Singaporeans top the charts when it comes to searching for FOOD!

A surprising statistic is that Singaporeans hunt down more information on their "idols" than even our closest neighbors! :P
