The joys of instant search
One of the joys of Google’s newly rolled-out instant search is the instant revelation it gives into what other people are interested in.
You can have a lot of fun with this. Try it. Typing in “how” I got Howdens, howrse and Howard Webb, a delightfully eclectic mix.
Insert a little space and suddenly we are back in the land of sex and money with:
· How I met your mother
· How to write a CV
· How did I do
· How much is my car worth
· How to kiss
· How to lose weight fast
· How to make money
· How to draw
· How to get a six pack
And so, the human heart is mercilessly laid bare!
Now guess what the top ten will be for “how big is the average…”. Yes, you guessed many of the answers, but you’ll be charmed by some of the unexpected results.
Any fave trails to share?

My top amusing searches today
Hi there Jeremy . . is Steve-Cook-Smith-Bundy-Hundred-Years-Ago-Copywriter-And-Stuff reading your blog.
Actually I want to ask you a favour (don't worry, is a two sentence in one minute favour) but will send to and meanwhile:
Try "How to forgive" . . is hilarious mix of zen strategies and "letting go" and "lightening the load" techniques from (suspicious looking) relationship coaches called Dan and Mike. Website highlights "celebratelove.com" and "sexrespect.com", top cyber cliche "a grudge can be a heavy weight to bear" and quite enjoyed "theholisticshop.com"
But bigger favourite today is "How to make the most of a microwave" - get past the fudge cake and popcorn recipes and you're into "Home made microwave weapons", "microwave cooking is killing you" and "do you have microwave illness?". I had to stop though when I go to "Use your microwave to make plasma" and "No holes barred microwave sex" (sorry, I couldn't click in case there were pictures)
