Americans are looking for jobs online in Alaska, Georgia, Illionois, Iowa, Main and New Hampshire. The state most interested in iPads turns out to be Maryland and the iPhone is most popular in New York. Utah is the last state to care about the iPod. Another popular query in Utah is lds.org, the website of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The Bible shows up in the top list in Oaklahoma and a lot of people in Utah and Montana are Googling "Girls" (the TV-series, I hope). Virginia must have a large Brazilian population as Orkut and Jogos has made it to the top list. In Oregon, people are looking for credit. Does the fact that Californians are Googling "DMV" a lot say anything about the traffic situation in Los Angeles? Most of thes searches for DMV are at least coming from there. Fox News shows up on the top list in Alabama and Missouri. For some reason, people in Rhode Island are Googling "dog" a lot.
People are searching for games in all states except Louisiana. The only states that don't care for ESPN are Alaska and Maine. Georgia, Missouri and Texas aren't as interested in Apple as the rest of the country. Myspace shows up in the top results in all states, except Iowa. Target is popular in all states except Alaska and Vermont.

Based on the popularity of Facebook, this ranking of the most searched brands by state doesn't seem to be based on actual data.
The data
When you query Google Trend's data base for a geographic region without a search term it returns the top searches for that region. I used this fact to compile the above top list.The data was compiled in R using this script. The word cloud was generated using the wordcloud library in R. The top ten table above was created in Excel.
The spread sheet is available from here.
