Our Google searches reveal more about us than we might expect. For example, in 2013, Americans were interested–very interested–in twerking.
Baltimore’s top searches of 2014 overlap quite a bit with the national trends. Everyone wanted to know about Ebola, the World Cup, and Frozen. What’s interesting about the Baltimore list is what’s not there — Robin Williams, the Malaysian Airlines flight, the Ice Bucket Challenge, ISIS, Ferguson, Ukraine… instead of looking up major world events, it appears that Baltimoreans were focused on local schools, local weather, and local baseball.
Otherwise, the lists below reveal that Baltimore is interested in ordering food online, planning trips to Yosemite, and closely watching the 2014 election results.
