    Who hoo. Investigative research that required follow through. I agree that i, s, and y are the most interesting too.

    Brady Forrest of O'Reilly Media wrote about this four weeks ago, coinciding with the launch of Google Suggest: http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/08/google-alphabe...

    Interesting data there, including some Trends charts.

    Ari, thanks for sharing that link. I was thinking about it last night, and it felt like somebody had done this recently, but upon not finding it, and convincing myself I was wrong, I put this up. Appreciate it.

    I did this in May 2007, interesting to see how it's changed.

    Interesting - I'm a former SEO professional, so I used to spend WAY too much time performing all manner of searches on Google (and, in the very early days, Hotbot, Excite, Webcrawler, etc.). Perhaps the most salient point: "it's clearly still got an extreme bent toward academia and science." That's absolutely the case, and I think you can trace this back to Google's algorithm, which in very basic terms, factors in "trust" to a very large extent. With supposedly nothing to gain by "gaming the system," the websites of universities, academics, researchers, etc. get a very high "trust score." Of course, the websites of most big companies are so authoritative that they, too, get a nice boost.
