2009 Google Zeitgeist

For those of you who don’t follow the Official Google Blog, then allow me to present you with the wonderful news that comes to us each year around the beginning of December, the Google Zeitgeist.

A collective of what’s been searched throughout the year, what topics are hot on people’s minds, and how it all compares.

Not surprisingly, Channel Ten’s Masterchef seems to have made a big impression this year, as well as the death of Michael Jackson.

Also interesting to note, is that “Currency Converter Calculator” is one of the fastest rising searches. Looking through the Google Trends charts and the finance charts, seems as soon as the Aussie dollar hit US$0.70 – the search started becoming more popular. Good for imports I suppose.

Cheers.
