Google Zeitgeist reveals UK's top searches for 2010
Google have just released its Zeitgeist list of the most searched for terms in the UK over the course of 2010. As ever, the usual faces sit at the top of the list: BBC, YouTube, Hotmail and Ebay are all near the top, likely as most of us these days are too lazy to type in a full URL. Amusingly, “Google” also makes the top ten most searched for terms, alongside regulars, “you”, “games” and “mail”.
More interesting though are the fastest rising searches, giving a much better insight into the years shifting popular trends. However, those looking for some web-enabled intellectual Renaissance look away now; we were most interested in pre-pubescent boys and random penis flashings as Justin Bieber and Chatroulette grew in popularity over the year.
Check out the full list below.
