Need Ideas? Let the New York Times Help!
June 2nd 2007 05:58
Are you stumped for a topic for your next article, blog post, or other web content? Suffering from a serious case of writer's block? Feeling as if you'll go mad if you're forced to stare at a blank computer screen even one minute longer?
Have no fear: The New York Times is here! Say, what? The New York Times? That's right! (And you thought they just gave you the latest news!)
If you can't quite figure out where to turn to find ideas for popular, up-to-the-minute content that people are interested in reading right now, The New York Times Most Searched Words and Phrases page can help get your creative juices flowing--and possibly even get some money flowing into your bank account--by providing you with a list of the top 50 words and phrases searched for most frequently by readers of NYTimes.Com.
This page on The New York Times website offers three options for search info, each of which can help you make a better decision on a viable topic for your piece. Offering three different lists, this helpful data includes the 50 top word and phrase searches made during the last 30 days, the last 7 days, and the last 24 hours, listed in order of popularity (with number 1 being the most popular.)
Not only will you find it intellectually stimulating--as well as intriguing--to learn what subjects are being searched for most often on the internet this very day, but you'll no doubt think it equally fascinating to know what the majority of us have thought important enough to search for during the past week, and possibly even more so, what has held our interest for an entire month. But aside from your own intellectual edification, this information will help you target your writing to the topics that the world is interested in reading about today.
So give this eye-opening information a read, let it help you tune in to the collective public consciousness, and see what ideas and images begin to emerge as you ponder the meaning of it all.
It may just help you say good-bye to writer's block...
Happy reading!
