Year In Review ala Google
http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html
Follow the link above to visit the Google Press Center: Zeitgeist, where you'll find Google's catalog of what searches were most popular over the last year. Sorry folks, most web surfers weren't looking for information on how to solve the ultimate problem, trying to admire Nobel Peace Prize winners, or tackling thorny intellectual issues. Nope, it appears that five of the top ten queries of the year were for popular women with queries for chat, games, Orlando Bloom, Harry Potter and Mp3 rounding out the mix. Bush and Kerry didn't make the cut for the top ten popular men when it came to searches. But take heart, for public figure searches "W" came in first followed by Janet Jackson. Kerry trailed at third. There's lots more and the results are fascinating. Perhaps what we look for on the web tells us a little about what we are.
