The Top Everything Home
 What would it be like to peer inside the contents of people's brains? And not just a few, but BILLIONS of people? Well, you can't do that, but you can learn a lot about the Zeitgeist, or Spirit of the Times, by checking out what today's top Twitter feeds, blogs, Facebook pages, news stories, Internet searches, music, videos, books, and websites are. These sites update the rankings daily, and often hourly. This project is moderated by Magdalena Liczkowska-Boleta and her students at Gimnazjum 36 in Warsaw, Poland.  What's the purpose of this? Marketers probably value this information, but isn't it just intrinsically valuable to know what your fellow humans are thinking, searching for, listening to, watching, writing about, reading, and tweeting about right now? And to be able to track how it changes daily? For example, here is a site that tracks the top Facebook pages of the day. It also records the fastest growing, and (for some reason) the LEAST popular FB pages. http://statistics.allfacebook.com/pages Google provides several ways to look at top searches. You can find out which are the top searches worldwide, and break them down by country and region. You can also find the top 100 fastest rising queries. http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/zeitgeist/index.html Today's top videos can be found at http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp. The top websites are tracked here: http://www.alexa.com/topsites.  The top music downloads for the day are at http://www.top100musicdownloads.com. If you're old enough, you may remember that at one point people used to buy music in stores. Some still do. Their purchases are tracked by the Billboard top 200. Note how different this list is from the downloaded music list: http://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200#/charts/billboard-200 The top news stories are at http://news.yahoo.com/io/1776. Top books: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/all.  'Monolitten' Gustav VigelandTop blogs: http://technorati.com/pop/blogs. | |
