USA Version
International Version

Some highlights...

USA:

- "wallpaper" beating "kazaa" = thumbs up.
- Pokemon will never die.
- Hello Kitty beats out DBZ in cartoons.
- What's Orlando Bloom got that I don't?

International:

Australia: If the Iraq war's not going on, you're focused on the cricket. Yeah.
Brazil: Hello Kitty just start airing for you guys?
Canada: Inuyasha continues to take over our fair country.
China: I'm scared at seeing "thesis writing" on your top 10 list.
Denmark: ...At least I know you guys like Pokemon and Nokia.
Finland: Runescape, Harry Potter, Sauna and 7 other insanely complex things.
France: For a second, I thought "mappy" referred to the famous Namco character.
Germany: You guys are soooo stuck in early 2004.
Italy: Beckham ahead of Totti. Oh dear.
Japan: Apparently there's a shortage of maps. And Gackt still rules.
Netherlands: ...Garfield as the #4 most searched movie? The hell? I won't go into putting Cristiano Ronaldo and Beckham ahead of Ruud.
Norway: DC++ is a terrible file sharing system. Get with the times.
Russia: Sharapova only at #3... I expected her at #1 to be honest.
South Korea: ...Oh, that's where Sharapova topped the list. And apparently they still think using Google's the best way to find MP3's.
Spain: Is it *that* hard to remember www.el-mundo.es?
United Kingdom: Same as Spain, just replace www.el-mundo.es with news.bbc.co.uk.

To see what was popular and what wasn't

Uma Thurman didn't make it - disaster for YD - but home pornography celebrities win the searches.

Surprised Porn didn't make the top query - probably made the top image query though

And I've done my fair sharing of Paris Hilton searches.

The Google Zeitgeist is a way for Google to show what's popular in various countries/subjects. They usually make one once a month, but the big one comes at the end of the year.

I'd like to see the image query Zeitgeist.

That's a great find; I'm not surprised by half of those queries though .

What the hell, Swedes are one of he more active members on the board but you forgot them?

...apparently Sweden is not listed there, just Norway. Which actually is a smaller country both internet and population wise... wtf. I just hope we appear later, since I swear we apparead in a earlier Zeitgeist.

What the fuck? Apparently people were more interested in Janet Jackson then the person who was running against Bush.

It's nice to see people still value their own computer's needs above a P2P network's needs.

Kitten Yiffer: Maybe your results weren't interesting enough.

Colleen -- of course Australia's focused on the Cricket. That's because Cricket rocks!

Eh, I saw the Zeitgeist earlier, but it didn't interest me. I think it's cause I was pissed off that there was an "australian idol" section for Australia. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!

Nice.

Must be my fault if there's been a lot of searches about it.

I know.... but I'm sure he wasn't searching things about InuYasha more than me.

Unless he searched more than 3 times a day
