well, you can't expect much from a project done in a couple of hours :) here's the reason why it's falsely detects 2039: http://www.bing.com/search?q=2042+%22in+2039%22&go=&...

Great little app. But you should move the text above the graph and make it more visible. It took me some time to find what happend, and where.

Could you add an option to make the y-axis have a logarithmic scale?

Some results have hundreds of thousands of results for 2012, but only a few for other years, so it's harder to see a pattern.

I thought about it, but was too lazy :)... If this site still gets traffic tomorrow morning, I will try to do that.

Yes, everything is going to happen in 2012.

rouli7• 15 years ago

implemented (as a little button above the graph, not to scare the casual users). Now you can more easily see how the "zombie apocalypse" is going to play out

I always wondered when the Steam Engine would be invented. Now I know it's gonna happen before 2020. http://future.rouli.net/?query=steam%20engine
