Mark pointed out some great google trends from their data. I’ve been playing too. How about the answer to the age old question of boxers or briefs? Or how about Mac v PC?

So want to know what people are seaching for? Well okay people using AOL are searching for.
Interestingly the outrage caused by this lapse in privacy by making this information available (and if you have no idea what I am talking about there is a link here) is nothing compared to the other information you can gleen from this data.
AOL Search is powered by google. It’s branded as such. Yet there are over 180,000 searches for … google or it’s varients.

So it looks like Abercrombie & Fitch are getting tough on counterfeiters. Well according to this report anyway.
One reason for Abercrombie’s move was to reduce the number of poor-quality copies being sold overseas so consumers won’t get a negative impression before the real thing arrives.
Well in which case they could do worse than look at eBay which consistently has ‘Brand New’ A&F clothes in bags! Only problem is of course Abercrombie clothes don’t come packaged in bags. There are so many counterfeit items on eBay I’m suprised they can still allow it without being forced into some sort of legal requirement to guarantee authenticity before selling.
You only need to look at the number of items allegedly from UK but shipping from Hong Kong. If eBay really was against counterfeit goods they would prevent this practise immediately. But of course they make money on every transaction be it listing, transaction or payment. It’s hardly in their interest to prevent it now is it…
Well if you put stock in online IQ tests.
I do since it seems quite high :o)
Police wish to speak with Carson in relation to a series of deceptions in which lone females are approached, generally on supermarket car parks, and told a well rehearsed account of how he is a fireman stranded at the location due to having lost his car keys and needs money to get a train back to his home station promising to return the money the following day when he returned with his spare car keys.
