If you check out Google Hot Trends today, apparently no one knew it was Mothers Day until they woke up this morning.
For those of you unfamiliar with Google Hot Trends, it is a tool provided by the search engine giant to see what the top 100 searched on terms are on their site at any given time. As a professional blogger it is an essential tool in my arsenal of finding topics to write about, but it was a bit of a story in and of itself today.
As most of you know (or, at least I hope you did before reading this), today is Mothers Day. Well, it would seem that a lot of people didn’t know this before today, so they turned to Google for help. At 12 PM EST today, these were just some of the top 100 items related to the special day that I found. (numbers are their rank position at that time… yes, I do know how to do sequential numbering)

Anyway, just an amusing look into the collective mind of the Internet. I’ve included a screenshot you can click on below to see what the whole 100 were at that time. There are a few more that were probably related to Mothers Day, but I couldn’t be 100% sure, so I left them off. And kudos to those few people out there already searching for Fathers Day links… unless you’re only doing it because you got confused about which day today was…
