Google has published their year-end zeitgeist — a collection of stats that describe what the world thought was worth searching for. It’s always interesting, and often surprising, to see things from a global perspective.
Not surprisingly, myspace ranked pretty high on the list — number two overall. I was surprise to see bebo, a myspace competitor ranked number one!
Also interesting are the sports stats. Not surprisingly, the World Cup was far-and-away the top searched sporting event. The World Series is barely a blip on the radar.
Sadly, the top search within Google News was for Paris Hilton.
