Search traffic on terms related to uif and how to claim uif has been quite sharply on the increase for TFSA of late. It got me wondering - is this increase a local trend? And what would that imply about the state of employment and our economy just at the moment?
How about global interest in Egypt? Seems somethings afoot in that neck of the woods right now.
Among all the wierdness of the internet, we can not only record history as it happens but map its trends.
Amazing.
I wonder if the day will come when we can extrapolate that sort of data to predictions of the future? Perhaps it's not if but a matter of when.
Aah. Here's one with a bit of rythm. I think I could safely predict the next spike...
For some stuff I guess we're there already.
