Google Globe…

Over on Dan Gilmor's eJournal there's a video of the "Google Globe", an Earth rotating which shows the "relative numbers of queries to the Google site in various parts of the world". Apparently Google showed this off at the D Conference earlier this week. We're not sure if it's really cool or downright creepy. If we were an alien invasion team sent to take over earth, we'd first index all the human knowledge with a "search engine" then we'd eventually eat them.
