Ever wonder what millions of people search Google for on any given day?

Now you can find out. Yesterday, Google launched a new toy called Hot Trends.

With Hot Trends, you can easily find out the most popular search terms of the day. Interesting huh?

Corey Vickrey, Google Software Engineer, Google apparently found a great deal of interest in the annual Zeitgeist display and felt that many might be interested in this as a daily exercise. I know that I will. I have been looking for something like this for a long time now, thanks Corey!

Hot Trends aren’t the search terms people look for most often — those are pretty predictable, like [weather] or [games] or perhaps [myspace]. Yes, [sex] too. Instead, the Hot Trends algorithm analyzes millions of searches to find those that are deviating the most relative to their past traffic. And the outcome is the Hot Trends list.
