Abstract

Query logs let by user on search-engines have helped create efficient tools for trend analysis, from commercial use to forecasting epidemics. In this paper, we propose a new method and system for cultural trends analysis based on Google auto-complete suggestions. We present Zeitgeist Borders, a toolkit enabling any user to collect and analyze associations between queries, suggestions and various regions of the world. We report unexpected observations about several behavioural and geographical trends along with promising uses.
