Google Trends, religion, and economy
This is interesting to me.
I was messing around with Google Trends ( I love these sorts of things. Check out Facebook Lexicon and Twist sometime.) the other day and discovered some interesting trends/correlations when I aggregated a graph of the terms “religion” and “economy” within the United States.
Here is a record of the last 12 months.
And here is a record of the last 30 days.
Even more interesting, here is a record since January of 2004.
Finally, here is a global record since January of 2004.
Clearly, there is a trend here and perhaps even a correlation. Now, I know this isn’t the best of surveying people and gaining information. I know it is skewed and probably inaccurate to an extent. But it is interesting nonetheless. I don’t know what to make of it. What do you think?
