Live on tape from Google's lobby: the search visualizer

03:43 PM PT, Jun 3 2008

I was bouncing around Santa Monica yesterday and happened to land in the lobby of the Google office on 2nd Street. Up on the wall is a nice big monitor that shows all the terms being searched on Google in real time. (They've had these things for a while but it was the first time I've seen one in person.) Lots of languages and varied interests. If anyone wants to translate some of the non-English phrases, please leave them in the comments. By the way, does anyone know what "space ibiza" is?  Sounds like a fun party.
