Google Visualizes Search Queries from Around the World
Last week Google launched Search Globe. According to the official Google Blog, Search Globe is "a new visual display representing one day of Google searches around the world--visualizing the curiosity of people around the globe.... The Search Globe visualizes searches from one day, and shows the language of the majority of queries in an area in different colors. You'll see a bright landscape of queries across Europe, and parts of Asia for instance, but unfortunately we see many fewer searches from parts of the world lacking Internet access--and often electricity as well--like Africa. We hope that as the Internet continues to become more accessible over time and people continue to ask questions, we'll see this globe shine brightly everywhere."
