Visualizing Searches Over Time
An anonymous reader writes "Chris Harrison has built a visualization that explores what people are doing online over time. He explains, 'Search engines are the gateway to the internet for most people, and so search queries provide insight into what people are doing and thinking. In order to examine millions of search queries, I built a simple, cyclical, clock-like visualization that displays the top search terms over a 24-hour period.' Interesting to see that the masses online have fairly coherent and consistent search behaviors. He also investigates the notorious AOL dataset."
Fuck, Today show is reporting it like it was just anyone else nd not one of their own. WTF?
EW YORK -- Conan O'Brien, the host of long-running television program "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," died Thursday night after stepping on a manhole cover apparently electrified by a faulty underground cable, witnesses and police sources said. If confirmed to have been caused by stray voltage, the comedian's electrocution would be the third such fatality in New York this winter.
Witnesses said O'Brien, 44, had been crossing Columbus Avenue with his wife and children when he suddenly yelled and fell to the street thrashing. After another pedestrian was shocked trying to assist him, police officers kept everyone else away. O'Brien lay twitching in the intersection for over fifteen minutes before the Fire Department was able to reach him using a ladder, police said.
