Month to Month Change
In this twenty-seventh survey of the web, The WAWG Index monthly average was down by 40.3 percent from December 2007. Of the fourteen categories tracked, 2 were up and 12 were down. The largest decrease for January, 93 percent, was for protection of corporate power. The largest increase was for powerful patriotic nationalism at 4.2 percent.
This large change appears to be due to changes at the search engine used. A backup set of data also shows a decrease but of only 13 percent.
Twelve Month Moving Average
Through January, the 12 month group moving average for all fourteen categories nearly doubled to -8.4 percent. Of the fourteen categories tracked, only one, media control, is positive.
