This is reALLY cool!

www.google.com/trends

it basically tells you how much something was searched and how often it was in the news.
you can compare things by seperating them with commas...

very cool!


Example:
According to Google, Pepsi is slightly more popular than Coke.

Also,
Love is more popular than Hate.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=bass,+guitar

of course guitar is more popular than bass, but the sad part is most of the references to bass are for the fish.
