It’s freaky that the seasonality one is reversed (for the Northern hemisphere). The poor schmucks must be searching for summer in the depths of their snowy winters.
I checked Google Trends out last week on it’s debut release. I was expecting something totally different when I heard the name, something about fashion. I’m glad to say I’m impressed on the actual digital imaging of the images through the Google server. Very nice upgrade. I guess I should have filled out the Google Employee Application when sent to my house a few months ago. Would have been on that team, perhaps.
