As Adam mentioned, Facebook has a new feature to let you search for the frequency of various words used in communication over time. You probably need to be a Facebook user to see any of these, but interesting ones include never drinking, rape (tends to peak on Sundays) and dead, which demonstrates the somewhat bizarre effect of Heath Ledger on the internet.

"your mom" has a notable and unusual spike during Xmas Eve. Alas, i doubt that it indicates that there was a profusion of "your mom" jokes on that day.

Irritatingly, there doesn't seem to be any compensation for message volume. Searching for something like "the" also shows drops at the weekend, which I suspect indicates that people just post less then.
