Computer Wizardry, Esoteric Spirituality, and Mind-altering Substances

Just like the last year we end this year to take a look at what do people are looking for on the Web. The year end Google Zeitgeist is already up.
We start of by looking at the top search of 2006 on Google, on the list are bebo, myspace, world cup and even Wikipedia and Mininova.
Top searches on Google News was somewhat a surprise there are more people searching for Paris Hilton then Hurricane Katrina.
On what’s hot, it seems that people are interested in knowing more about Hezbollah, may be because of the recent Labanon crisis.
There are more interest in web technologies and web development as people is searching on “what is Ajax”, and “define web 2.0, “define Ajax”, also there are searches on how to podcast and how to blog. This interest in web2.0 might lead to a better year for 2007.
Check out the year end Google Zeitgest for the whole list.

hey, i heard the Buzz Out Loud crew talking about this and they predict that bebo will be the new MySpace since it was a more popular search term. Google Zeitgeist, the web’s crystal ball.
