You can find some really interesting curves by dicking around this way. For example, searches for <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=id%3Akq-9TFMQxqO&e=how+to+write+a+resume+for+a+job&t=weekly#">"how to write a resume for a job"</a> go through the roof from 2008 to today. Also, it turns out that people tend to google <a href="http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/search?e=id%3ArwJBjjRsNt1&e=work+out+equipment&t=weekly#">"work out equipment"</a> around the holiday season. This comes via Reddit, where <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/k2j1e/google_correlate_by_drawing_actual_drawing/">users have found some pretty interesting correlations</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2011:site.107100 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:03:21 -0800 correlate google googlecorrelate search searchtrends trends Zero Gravitas http://www.metafilter.com/103900/All%2DVisual%2DPerception%2Dis%2DIllusory%2Dto%2DSome%2DExtent <a href="http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrelate.com/cat/top-10-finalists/2011/">Top 10 finalists in the 2011 Illusion of the Year Contest</a>. <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/91985/Gravity-is-Optional">Previously</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2011:site.103900 Thu, 26 May 2011 04:41:20 -0800 contest correlate finalist illusion illusionoftheyear neural neuralcorrelatecom top10 bwg
