I don't understand how Katy Perry can be on the general fastest rising list, but not on the entertainment fastest rising list? Is this a judgement on Google's part that she isn't entertaining?
A plausible (if not likely) explanation is that a large number of the searches for Katy Perry included other terms that caused Google to identify the searches as "not entertainment".
I could see porn sites not legitimately making that page. First of all the categories are nearly all "Fastest Rising", you can easily imagine porn queries being less volatile. Also, despite porn's popularity, there are basically no porn stars famous enough to pull the same number of queries as a Katy Perry or a Shakira.
I wonder what else Google filters out of their lists.
Although, thinking about this a little more, perhaps they look at spikes in search data that represent "changes in mood", and filter out things that represent a constant "hum".
If "nicki minaj" is directly under "justin bieber" in fastest rising, why is there a bunch of other stuff between those terms in "fastest rising in entertainment"?
I'm surprised. Considering most of what I hear about China is in relation to their government/censorship and manufacturing, what makes it an attractive place to move to? I understand they're rising in educational prominence (there was a story about that here recently even), but wouldn't the lack of freedom of speech and press be a turn off? I don't mean this as a diss to China, I seriously don't understand.
Interesting how South America seemed to care more about the ash cloud over Iceland (which I guess effected travel internationally, so it was an important thing) more than the gulf oil spill (which was popular even in Asia).
But there's always funny little quirks in data you'll find like that. Trying to draw too much from them will drive you mad.
Seems like a meme: people encourage others to google for "как жрать суши" and look at the first link. The first link reads "Stop eating sushi, dumbass -- eat borsch and don't show off".
Yes, there are Russian. This is not a pure meme in his understanding. foundation here - that the word "жрать". There are three common words used in respect of the word is - жрать (Russian profanity) есть (general use) and кушать (cultural variant). As anything anywhere using the profanity (from cleaners to politicians) the meme is not here, this expression for sushi can be heard quite often. I don't know if there are any country in the world, in which the mprofanity is so often used in everyday life.
Why don't they translate the foriegn words? And is this supposed to be worldwide? Am I to understand the most popular search terms across the world are in three languages and amost all englsih? If it's not worldwide report why include the foreign terms?
