Google reports search results for 2008 By Tema Hassan of Gravity Internet The search engine has published its year-end Zeitgeist, the tool which reveals what Internet users are searching for. 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 list also reveals what global preoccupations are and this year the US election candidates and the Beijing Olympics figure high. The things people around the globe have in common are a strong interest in socialising and politics, according to Marissa Mayer, vice-president of search at Google. “Social networks comprised four out of the top 10 global fastest-rising queries while the US election held everyone’s interest around the globe,” she wrote on Google’s official blog. MOST SEARCHED UK TERMS 1. Facebook 2. BBC 3. YouTube 4. eBay 5. Games 6. News 7. Hotmail 8. Bebo 9. Yahoo 10. Jobs This intel first appeared on: http://community.gravity.net.uk/?p=105
