Zeitgeist

Google has just published it's 2008 Zeitgeist list of what people have been most searching for through their engine, broken down by countries and search subjects. This makes for interesting reading, the entries at numbers 4 and 7 in the global fastest rising list meant nothing to me but turn out to be social networking sites in Spain and Poland respectively.

It was good to see the large hadron collider making it into the UK's fastest rising list at number 6, demonstrates that we are still interested in “big science”.

Well worth a visit and some time browsing through the results.
