I *love* Google Press Day! It's like Christmas... except we release products, not presents. What does it mean to the average Googler? It means I find out that I'm finally allowed to talk about products that have been "under wraps" for a while.

For example...

Google Trends

Find out how many people have been searching for a particular term (the results are relative, to keep things private). So, you can finally find out who is winning: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Good vs. Evil, and Republican vs. Democrat. Wait, there's more. If you are a geek you can find out: Windows vs. Linux, Emacs vs. VI, and Battle of the *BSDs.

The humor opportunties are boundless: Roe v. Wade, and oh this just makes my eyes hurt.

Google Co-op Beta

Better than sharing bookmarks, you can now augment Google's search by marking pages that you like and letting other people subscribe to the list.

Google Desktop 4 Beta

Now with widgets that can live on your desktop docked or undocked. Favorite feature: Google Personalized homepage widgets can now appear on your Google Desktop bar!

Google Notebook from Google Labs

Soon to be released. A way to 'take notes' about web sites. It will make sense more when it is released in a week.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=pepsi%2C+coke&ctab=0&date=all&geo=all also works well with the colors.

Mom beats Dad.
Pussy beats cock.
Girls beat boys.
Dogs beat cats.
Love beats hate by a landslide.
Love beats money, too.
Gay totally beats out lesbian.
Right beats out left.
But liberal beats conservative.
Wine beats beer.
Star Wars beats Star Trek.
Finally, tits & ass are neck & neck.

Interestingly, up and down seem to go up and down at about the same places...
