Above shows a map of a map of random revelation also known as auto-complete on Google. The principle of the map is to type in one of the States of America and see what the most popular phrase linked to that State is.

One immediate obvious observation is that sports fans dominate the US of autocomplete, shown by the blue States. The red states refer to semi-eponymous newspapers. The rest however are divided, such as the State of Kentucky which relates to the popular food chain that bears it's name or Maine which results cheifly as a holiday destination.

I chose this map as it gives an insight into an American's life in that specific State and what that individual State is popular for. It is a clever piece of statistics and offers a fascinating insight into the mind of the 'Great Online Public.'
