Daylight Savings Time
If keyword search volumes were stocks, I’d be buying “Daylight Savings” right now. I’m pretty sure it’s just about to hit the J curve.
I’m not too sure how long I would keep it past Sunday though… :)
Did you know that Daily Savings Time was Benjamin Franklin’s idea? Here’s the essay where he introduced the concept. Just think how many hours of sunlight you owe to our founding fathers! Not to mention freedom from tyrants, etc.
On a side note, I don’t know why, but I really like cyclical data. Other fun cyclical (seasonal) Google Trends searches:
- Why I’m so busy at work
- Why autumn and winter kick butt (statistically speaking)
- Why my wife is hyper-susceptible to advertising during Q1 & Q2
- Why druids party all year long
