Tim Schwartz, a former Assistant Curator of Digital Media at NYC’s Museum of the Moving Image, has invented a funny, but curious device that monitors the [number of Internet search results](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackerjam) and news stories involving [Paris Hilton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razr-plus-1) versus the city of Paris, France called the Paris-O-Meter.

Tim Schwartz must have had quite a lot of time on his hands to measure the results in real time, as the [data is measured in real time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-data)! I wonder if Paris Hilton would buy this?
