One of the many reasons I like this time of year is all the lists that come out summing up the year that was. Google Australia has posted some cool top 10s on its Blog.
Click here to see the top 10 Fastest-rising Google searches 2010, Most popular Google searches 2010, Fastest-rising news stories 2010, Fastest-rising people 2010, Most popular celebrity weddings 2010 and much more, including a whole category dedicated to teenage pop star Justin Bieber.
'Facebook' was the most popular search on Google in 2010. I believe this shows that people still think Google IS the internet, and the Google search bar is used to navigate through the web instead of the URL bar on browsers.
Worryingly, 'google' was the third-most popular searched word on Google in Australia.
And it is very interesting to see that the top question people asked to Google in 2010 was "What is love?"
Might we Australians be preparing to soon take over Paris as the romantic capital of the world? Surely not!
