The 2005 year end Google Zeitgeist
is out. The Zeitgeist aggregates the billions of searches performed on
Google each year, and lists trends and statistics within that data.
It’s always a fun read, as it provides a barometer for trends that took
off, news that was of interest to a wide range of audiences, and more.
So what does this have to do with snowboarding? From the “Phenomena” section of the 2005 year-end Zeitgeist:
“Snowboarding, a newer phenomenon than the other two [surfing and
skateboarding], shows a distinctly seasonal pattern – after all, it’s
most effective when there’s snow. But regardless of geography or
season, each adrenaline pumper has its own partisans and plenty of
search interest.”
It seems like a lot of Google’s snowboarding search volume is seasonal
- moreso than skateboarding and surfing, anyway. But those winter
volumes appear to be similar to the other sports, so that’s a good sign.
