Barometer of Societal Interest

I had the opportunity to spend part of the weekend with my family, and a major concept involved reiterating to my younger brother the importance of knowing what’s going on in the world. For the most part, this encapsulated having a solid foundation of both history and relevant macro trends / drivers in society; but taken literally, I’d asked myself the same question: what are * most people * interested in at any given time?

While not a project top of mind, currently, it will be interesting to assess, over time, the most popular trends on the following platforms:

  • Wikipedia
  • Google
  • Twitter

More to come in the future.
