The word “brackets” means different things to different people:

Let’s check Google - see if Google has any concise Insights as to the meaning of the word:
Hmmm…
I wonder why the search term “brackets” spikes every March like clockwork?

p.s. It looks like Google is “forecasting” very light/mild spike this March 2010. I respectfully disagree.

Here is my reply, my thoughts, and my position:

DoublePositive posted a Twitter status update merely seconds ago about LeadsCon.
Now when I perform a LeadsCon search with the hash tag, I see the actual Twitter post:

I have no idea, but here’s my guess:

All other titles - 40%
So those are the odds.
The over/under is now 1,700.
Did I mention LeadsCon is in Las Vegas?

Lala hosts the most online music.
Apple recently bought Lala.
Google uses Apple’s Lala when you search for a song on Google.
It works fabulously well. If you haven’t already, try it for your favorite song.
If you don’t have a favorite song, just ask Google for one.
Oh wait…
I just tried that.
My Google search query was “best song”
I did [...]
