Ever wondered if other people are searching for the same stuff as you? Of course you have, which is why everyone loves it when Google reveals who has been searching for what and where during 2008. Let's go around the world in 80 searches.
It has been a busy year for Google, what with introducing and then
closing an
interactive world of 3D avatars , building
Wiki into
searches and even
reconstructing Ancient Rome.
Of course, we have to mention all the effort
to
launch the Google Android phone as well as an own-brand
web browser client in
Chrome.
However, while Google has been busy with all this, Googlers have been
busy doing what they do best. Googling. Now, as we approach the year
end, it is possible to take a journey around the world in 80 Googles to
see exactly what people have been looking for.
You can get a daily glimpse of what is hot on Google by visiting

that in the USA people are mostly searching for eclampsia and
blagojevich.
