Google Kerry phrase
Google Kerry phrase: Philipp Lenssen experiments with revealing the group mind... he automated comparisons of various phrases from American politician John Kerry's recent speech into Google, to determine which phrases were most popular. I'm not sure of any meaning in this study -- if the search results included Associated Press feeds, for instance, then the results could be wildly skewed towards what one reporter chose, and "But you know what?" seems like an anomaly -- but it's a great approach of using the search engine API to quickly harvest what most people found to be most worthy of attention.
