Google Releases Top Searched Terms for 2009

Google Releases Top Searched Terms for 2009In the usual manner close to the year end Google has released their 2009 Year-End Zeitgeist lists of the most popular searches for 2009. This year, in the global segment,  King Of Pop Michael Jackson is the most searched query. As millions of fans bid adieu to  the pop icon Michael Jackson, this is a silent  tribute to the departed pop icon  who made a long lasting impression on millions around the globe. Keeping away Michael Jackson’s unsurpassable popularity, this is an example of  how popular icons can create influence on searchers.

Facebook landed comfortably in the second spot among the global rising terms, while, being touted as 'Spanish Facebook' Tuenti landed in the top #3 position on the fastest growing list. This time Google added top searches by city too.

    Yes of course, the Zeitgeist list is a good reference for getting to know the diverse searching patterns across the different corners of the world.
    Sad to see the Prez’s name was in the falling list…Guess it has nothing to do with his popularity or actions. Probably because of the constantly changing searching trends of users around the world.

    Its interesting to note the trends of the most popular and not so popular terms around the globe. Its an eye opener to know about terms I have not heard of and helps me understand that North Americans are getting tech savvy 🙂 That is some good news.

    Looking into the regional wise search queries it seems googlers in 2009 were more interested in social networking than anything else.

    Not surprising, it would be Michael Jackson!
    Seeing the great variation in search queries among the various geo zones leaves a feeling that searchers are getting more and more regional.
