Ask.com gets a lot of their search queries in the form of a question – more so than any other search engine. So, it makes sense that their end-of-the-year list features questions instead of keywords.
The questions are a refreshing departure from the usual fare seen on the end-of-year lists from other search engines. They’re also humorous, curious – and yes, existential.
- How much should I weigh?
- How do I get out of debt fast?
- How do I get pregnant?
- What is Twitter?
- What is Miley Cyrus’ phone number?
- What is the meaning of life?
- When will the world end?
- How long does marijuana stay in your system?
- What are the symptoms of Swine Flu?
- What time is it?
