Google has released its annual list of the most commonly searched words and terms in 2009.
The Google zeitgeist lists show the most popular keywords made by British users in the last 12 months.
For the second year in a row, Facebook is Google’s most searched term of the year.
Here is this year’s list of the Google’s top ten searches.
BBC
Hotmail
Games
News
Yahoo
Bebo
One thing that confuses me with this list is why people would search Google for “Google” – You’re on it.
Although this is official, I wouldn’t really class Facebook as something you would search for, because you’re not searching for Facebook, you’re just too lazy to put .com at the end.
So in my opinion the top two actual searches of 2009 are Games and News – as that wouldn’t lead you to the one specific site you want.
Here’s a list of the fastest rising search queries of 2009:
Facebook login
Jogos
eBay uk
Yahoo mail
Hotmail.com
BBC iPlayer
Hi5
Stephen Gately
Bing
Spotify
Finally here are the top 10 biggest stories in the UK in this year.
