A wildly unscientific and faintly humorous look at what Google tells us about web searchers' relative (dis)interest in security topics. Google has a nifty tool called Google Trends. It allows you to plug in two or three phrases and see which one is used more often in web searches. Thought I'd check in on current topics and see the degree to which security is fitting into the discussion online.
