This is pretty cool. On a side-note, both technomancy and I attended Clojure Conj this weekend. I wonder where he found the time to do this. I know I was exhausted at the end of it and pretty much all of Sunday veg-ing on my couch. Great work.

Actually, I'm not connected to the original 'technomancy'. I've never met the guy. I just liked the domain name (from reading Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon), and it's my personal domain name. I think 'technomancy' is on 'http://technomancy.us.

This is amazing: Canada, America, Europe http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+is...

It's like everyone who searches "Why is America so $foo" is Canadian, and everyone who searches "Why is Europe so $foo" is American.

Awesome hack. I want to export the results! Bug: Some first letters are getting chomped for the search "guitar X" for X: Fender, Gibson, Yamaha http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=guitar... http://www.ampnote.com/venn.jpg Edit: It seems to be improving. Wish the Discus did not interfere with the circles!

I didn't know Disqus was messing up the display in FF. I've fixed it now.

Fun idea. Ven Diagram overlaps comments which makes it harder to see the diagram. This is on firefox 3.6.11

I should have fixed the veen diagrams/disqus bug on FF now.

Awesome... I don't even know who this "Snooki" is, but she must not be well liked: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=How+X+...

Seems like the first character of some are cut off. 'he cosby show', 'il wayne', 'ustin Bieber'

Hmmm, people think even-less of our political parties:

Why so much negativity?

Google has way too much insight into human nature: http://www.technomancy.org/google-suggest-venn/#start=Why+do...

Looks like google considers everyone a lier.

I find it interesting that these are what people are actually searching for. It looks like most of those common "search terms" are already formed opinions and ppl are mearly searching to see if others agree with them.
