Data Mining for Everyone

(Haven't seen this mentioned 'round these parts...) Google's released a meta-searching tool -- you can now see who's searching for what: <http://www.google.com/trends> A quick search for things like 'anonymous' and 'encryption' made me think. And I'm positive there's data that's been pulled from the engine -- some search terms show zero results. Who needs a warrant when you have corporate interest? (And I wonder how long it will take before there's a meta-trending tool as well.)
