One of the new services provided by Google is Google Trends, I know that everyone is playing with it at the moment which is not surprising as it provides hours, well at least minutes of entertainment.
For instance, if I look up Beethoven it tells me that the top three countries interested in it are Chile, Mexico and Hungary. Mozart is mostly searched in Austria, Spain and Hungary while Verdi in Italy, Germany and Norway. Chopin is seached in Poland, Singapore and France and Schubert in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. Frank Sinatra and the Beatles are very popular in South America and Elvis Presley must have a revival in Chile and Scandinavia. Pink Floyd also do well in Chile, Argentina and Italy while Bob Dylan scores highly In Ireland, Norway and Sweden. Newest things like the Arctic Monkeys are seached in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand.
I leave it like this as I could go on for a very long time but it is all pointless information after all.

Ask Jeeves when it first started used to have a list of the last 20 searches, it was surprising to see what people were looking for.
