Google Zeitgeist

Posted on January 30, 2006 10:26 PM by Joel Comm

What are people searching for? The Google Zeitgeist knows all.

The Zeitgeist examines all searches made through Google and examines patterns, trends, and surprises. You can check the site regularly to see the most popular searches aroundt the world.

For last week, the top 15 most searched terms were:

1. anna benson
2. zac efron
3. kate beckinsale
4. miss america
5. jenna elfman
6. leif garrett
7. barrett jackson
8. american idol
9. tanith belbin
10. australian open
11. martina hingis
12. jill carroll
13. maria sharapova
14. seahawks
15. steelers

Are Americans obsessed with celebrity? If sales of the National Enquirer are not enough to convince you, these results most definitely should!

Anyhow, the Zeitgeist is a pretty cool way to put your finger on the pulse of popular culture.

    The Google Zeitgeist site is interesting. And the top search patterns are interesting ... only to reveal that majority of people are searching for sexy women on the net :)
