From Mohamed Taher, a Canadian library tech, there’s some neat stuff here.
The Movie Timeline, http://www.themovietimeline.com/
“It’s like a timeline, but of movies.” It covers 65,000,000 BC—Jurassic Park to 2293—Star Trek: Generations. There’s a bit too much of Alien vs. Predator, but otherwise it’s reasonably interesting. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Google Trends, http://www.google.com/trends
You can track how often people have searched for the terms you input. “Google Trends aims to provide insights into broad search patterns. As a Google Labs product, it is still in the early stages of development. Also, it is based upon just a portion of searches, and several approximations are used when computing your results. Please keep this in mind when using it.” Despite this disclaimer, it could be very useful.

Thanks for this generous status.
