Always first with the lastest trends

As I've probably mentioned to you if I've met you in the last few days, internet phenomena are up there in my top ten methods for distracting myself during revision periods.
As if the arrival of facebook at Imperial wasn't enough, there is actually a double whammy in the shape of Google Trends. Apparently "with Google Trends, [I] can compare the world's interest in [my] favorite topics". Which is great, as I've always wondered whether the world prefers the infrared region or the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It turns out that people generally prefer their light with wavelengths between 10μm and 1000μm, except for a brief period in early 2006 when the world showed considerable interest in the ultraviolet region. You know, infrared is so 2005.
An imaginary person, conceived entirely as a method for starting this paragraph, recently complained to me that there is just too much hustling and bustling nowadays. I decided to check this out. I can't deny that there is a significant and growing amount of 'hustle' about, but their claim that there is an equal amount of 'bustle' simply doesn't stand up to rigorous scrutiny.
One of the great claims of the internet is that it connects people. So are people principally 'here' or 'there'? During most of the year in the United Kingdom, people are chiefly 'there', except for a number of brief periods in which a large proportion of the citizenry suddenly migrate to 'here'. Subsequently, they return to 'there'. Interestingly, the majority of Bradford's population claim to be 'here', whilst denizens of other British cities predominantly assert that they are in fact as expected 'there'.
I was pretty disappointed to discover that a search for Alex Guite doesn't yield enough search volume to produce graphs. I'd been really looking forward to comparing incidences of my name with searches for "most compelling blog description of the events following the disappearance of a flatmate's toothbrush".
I always like to thing that my blog posts have a strong moral dimension to them. Recent morals have included: always eat your greens; don't kill cute cartoon animals; and so forth. It looks like it's paying off: there is a whole lot of love out there.
Unfortunately, people don't seem to share my passion for the Taylor series so much and only have one thing on their mind.
