Google release top searches of 2006

Industry 2 comments

A couple of weeks ago it was Yahoo’s top search list, now we have Google’s.

Google’s top searches for the year:

1. bebo
2. myspace
3. world cup
4. metacafe
5. radioblog
6. wikipedia
7. video
8. rebelde
9. mininova
10. wiki

The top searches on Google News:

1. paris hilton
2. orlando bloom
3. cancer
4. podcasting
5. hurricane katrina
6. bankruptcy
7. martina hingis
8. autism
9. 2006 nfl draft
10. celebrity big brother 2006

Quite a strange entry in at number 3. with the world cup. I wouldn’t have expected that one. Also why is everyone so obsessed with Paris Hilton……and Orlando Bloom for that matter? Am I missing something here?

Here’s Google’s official “Zeitgiest” for more such as what’s hot, current events, milestones, entertainment and sports.

    Sometimes, search rankings can offer a little insight into society and offer up some kind of social commentary, too.

    Interesting.

    And on a more personal note, Paris Hilton has nothing going for her .. other than her money.

    Put it this way: if she was serving you at a supermarket check-out, would you honestly give her a second look?

    She is quite literally extra, extra ordinary…
