If you are ever curious to what the world is looking for on any given day, go visit Google Trends where you can see the top 100 search topics.
With the VP announcement yesterday, almost a quarter of those 100 topics were related to Sarah Palin. Her Google “hotness rating” quickly hit Volcanic.

I tried to do the same thing with Wikipedia, but the latest stats they seemed to have were for May 2008. I’m sure that all kinds of people (me included) looked up her article on Wikipedia yesterday.
