Χριστούγεννα 2011, ακαδημαϊκή έρευνα του Oxford Universityστους Google maps οι επισκέπτες κλικάρουν περισσότερο στις λέξεις Satan και Zombies παρά στη λέξη Santa δηλαδή στον Πατέρα των Χριστουγέννων
Santa v Satan v Zombies: who wins in the battle for Google Maps?Simon Rogers Friday 16 December 2011  Father Christmas faces the Devil and the undead in this academic research from Oxford University at mapping Google mapsYou better watch out, you better not cry or the zombies might get you. It may be nearly Christmas, but that doesn't mean Santa is running the web. In parts of the US, he's on the run from both the undead and the lord of darkness. And yes, this is serious academic research.Mark Graham and the team at the Oxford Internet Institute (who've mapped zombies, every geotagged picture on Flickr and languages used on Wikipedia) looked at key words geotagged on Google map as part of their research into the state of the internet.Graham, who also runs the blogs floatingsheep.org and zerogeography.net worked with Monica Stephens, Taylor Shelton, and Matt Zook to look at the amount of content indexed by Google Maps at each location containing the term "Santa" and then comparing it. To zombies and Satan.
