Google Releases 2005 Year-End Google Zeitgeist
The 2005 Year-End Google Zeitgeist with popular search terms and trends was released today. In the past week, we’ve heard from most of the large web engines with their year-end lists.
Google’s year-end package offers numerous rankings in a variety of categories including:
+ World Affairs
+ Nature
+ Movies
+ Celebrities
+ Phenomena
Most categories don’t show simple Top 5 or Top 10 lists like we found on other lists. Instead, you’ll see charts
that allow you to see how certain terms did over certain periods of time and tied to specific events. For example, in the Celebrities section you’ll see how Britney, Mariah, and Shakira did over the year and tied to events in their lives. Fun!
Of course, Google does offer a few tradtional lists including:
