Google tells us what we look for

There is a very interesting article over at the BBC talking about what we are looking for on the Internet. As explained below.

“The most searched term for Google users in the UK was Facebook while the BBC came second and its iPlayer service was the fastest rising query.”

The top ten world list was even more interesting:

Sarah Palin

Beijing 2008

Facebook login

TuentiHeath Ledger

Obama

Nasza Klasa

Wer Kennt Wen

Euro 2008

Jonas Brothers

I kind of find it strange that people search for the Facebook login page via Google. I would have thought that they could manage to type that one themselves. The top ten in the UK were:

Facebook

BBC

YouTube

eBay

Games

News

Hotmail

Bebo

Yahoo

Jobs

Obviously social networking is up there. I have to confess too that I have typed in Sarah Palin and You tube. Most of the others are not on my search list.
