Hi there,
I've just stumbled upon your website.
I've been exploring all the data you make available about, well, almost everything interesting on the web, marketin' stuff, brand name impact, and search stats (for that post).
I don't know what the data collection process went, but I was wondering if the search terms had some chronological relation between them. I mean : do the people start looking for the word "porn", then "sex", then "WWE"?
Or, for those interested in hip-hop stuff, do they make successive searches about the song titles, to recreate this "Itune free but limited library"?

I was wondering how you manage to get that kind of (highly) valuable data : indeed, I'd like to make this kind of data available, but for France, specifically, and continental Europe, more generally.
Am I asking here to sell your secret thing?
Anyhow, I'll keep on surfing the datahub blog, I'm just fscinated!
