shawn bentler...92.3 krock?

Fun news via Darren Rowse at ProBlogger. Google has launched a service, Hot Trends, that captures the most searched for items each day in the Google browser.

Among the top 100 on this day are:

  • ship s lowest deck
  • french birth certificate
  • brian leetch
  • lyrics to this is my now

Brian Leetch! I'm assuming the Ranger hockey player from the 90's? It's an eclectic list to say the least. It would be great to see numbers associated with these searches. How many individual searches separate number 1 from number 2? Or number 50 from 100? How about number 100 to 10,000? I have a sneaking suspicion that the list may not mean much in the sense that 100th search on Hot Trends may not have that much more in the way of individual searches then the 1,000th or 10,000th ranked search.

How long until someone games Hot Trends so they can spam the Google browser with searches for an item on their own blog or website?

And tom selleck knocks in at number 90!
