whip out your Trends

9 Oct

Who can solve the remaining 5 items in Blake Andrews‘s photographic Google Trends quiz? The patterns are so distinct that they should be easy for someone who’s been following the industry for a long time…

  • What occurs biennially in the first few months of the year, the last one being in 2008?

  • What was a one-off event that happened smack in the middle of 2007? (“Jen Bekman” is a similar spike, but comes later that year)
  • What do people show sustained interest in over the years, but less so during Xmas time? (“snapshot” is very close, but no dice)
  • What have people shown increasing interest in over the years and makes a good Xmas present? (CF cards has a similar pattern)
  • What do people have a sustained interest in that wanes during summer and Xmas?

If nothing else, check out his blog, which is fast becoming one of my favorites.

UPDATE: The answers have been released. (#6 was snapshot after all!)
