A Google spokesperson clarified it for me, as if you check Google Trends, MySpace blows Bebo searches out of the water. Google's response: The reason for this is because the Google Zeitgeist is a regular look at an aggregation of the most popular and fastest-rising search queries as indicated by what people are typing in to their Google.com search box. Zeitgeist means "spirit of the times," and Google search queries, when seen in volume, tend to reflect what is collectively on our minds day in and day out. People use Google to search for what's new and interesting and top of mind. Therefore, these lists are not necessarily the most top searched terms of 2006. I was puzzled by this.
