It turns out I have made over 12,724 Google searches since june 21, 2010 which averages out to a rate of 1.097 Google searches per hour. Note that the data were not skewed by the times I mined Google with various programs, and it didn't account for any searches done when I wasn't logged in. Also, my rate of Googling has appeared fairly constant over the years so the introduction of Google instant did not seem to skew the results.
What is your rate of Google-ing?
- Go here and find out your "total Google searches" and then go way back until you see when they first started to collect the data (if you Google enough this day will be obvious).
- Go here and calculate exactly how long it has been since they started tracking you.
- Finally insert the two measures into ... a Google search! like this. Note that km is a units placeholder for "Google searches" which confuses the calculator.

I don't beat your rate, but I beat your number of searches. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=18132+searches%2F1187+days
ReplyDeleteoh wow, wolfram alpha doesn't get messed up by search-units.
ReplyDelete42255 searches from may 31, 2005 is 0.7556 searchs/hour. Note that Wolfram|Alpha can calculate the date range for you, too: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=42255+searches%2F%28days+from+may+31%2C+2005%29
ReplyDeleteIs there anything wolfram alpha can't do? Integration of really ugly analytical functions aside?
ReplyDeletePersonally, it appears to be Over 9000 :)
ReplyDeletethat is pretty nifty wolfram alpha.
ReplyDeleteand sysfrog - is your googling rate over 9000? wow
Oh, and over the last year, it's been 0.9275 searches per hour.
