I should say that the Japanese still do love WinMX. I was looking for a
bit of software (and failed), but the search turned up a huge number of
anime videos with similar name.

The lists for the cities etc are probably not that interesting, but the
graph should be the same whatever the sequence. The number is the ratio
of search number to the total number of searches, it'll be interesting
to know what the absolute number is. Just wondered because we don't see
increases for bittorrent or eDonkey, but don't know how to find that out
though. Also I think the number for the cities might not be that
accurate, because IP address don't always correlate to city, which may
be why sometimes small towns go to near the top of list.
It's interesting for searches using other terms, you just don't know
what you might find out. So far I've found that people from Chicago and
Pakistan are really rather pervy.
