Smells Like Zeitgeist...
A special edition of statistics sundays... sort of!
The nod to the famous Weird Al song... I mean, to the Nirvana classic, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", is once more a sardonic bit and to be taken lightly - not as Lightly as "being in The Light" but lightly as being in on the joke!
For zeitgeist is the spirit of the times we live in - and these times suck mightily! (Once again, a clarification if a clarification is required, that is "mightily" as in "bad" and not as in "splendid-magnificent-breathtaking" - at all!)
And I dare presume that I need not clarify my position as far as any "teen spirit" goes either - it sucked before Kurt killed himself and it sucks this many years after he killed himself... Case closed.
(That is Kurt Cobain, not Kurt Wagner (I wish he could off himself - ITSELF really - alas, only a hack can do that, with a swift dab of his imaginary quill...!) and not even Kurt Russell, who is still alive -somewhere- despite his virtual disappearance from our screens and from Goldie Hawn's bed, bank statements and life overall... But I digress...)
I will get back to the sad case of teen so-called spirit - and why it should be in the dumps! Not all teens, of course - there are always decent kids, for every dozen or so rotten ones - but certainly the ones to be found on certain corners (both of our streets as of the virtual confines of YouTube) leave a lot to be desired... MORE ON THAT IN A FEW DAYS... But, for now, we shall focus on what interests surfers of ALL ages - according to our benefactor -yours and mine, yes- Google! ;)
Ah, yes - every year, Google issues its year-end Zeitgeist, an account of the hottest searches in 2006...
For some odd reason, bloggers who owe it all to Google (all the crap that gets to be "published" on Blogger, for free - it may yet have gotten to be about as bad as all the crap that gets published in the book industry, for a price, by now... But I digress again...) all those blogger boogers, thus, "immediately felt the list's creators were fudging it a little for decency's sake". Google responded on its blog saying the list was edited in accordance to the queries made by web searchers this year as opposed to 2005. The difference gives a fair estimate of "what's on people's minds"...
Hmm... Judging by the results, I actually am forced to forego my usual theory ("not much at all there") and go with "wow" - for once!
Mais une fois n'est pas coutume... ;)
If Google News results are somewhat disappointing (being topped off by the inane Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom - marry them off and rocket them off for a honeymoon on the actual lone natural satellite that the planet has, I say! THEN they will legitimately make headlines!) they get to be better with topics such as autism, cancer, bankruptcy, Hurricane Katrina and even podcasting making "the cut" to crack the top ten. Martina Hingis' presence there, as much as the top two spots, are the perplexing part though... Otherwise, what is on people's minds seems to be what should be on people's minds; and those are glum thoughts! :)
The Google.com top searches are as follows:
1. beboI suppose that makes us all out to be what I knew us to be like all along after all - trivial fluffs! Let us all rejoice in that knowledge then; for if we have nothing more serious to search about en masse there, on the world wide web, it surely means that we live as close as it can get to be carefree lives (if that is not actually careless lives, really...) which means in turn that we haven't suffered much at all, that we've been spared, that we've been spoiled rotten and that there will be hell to pay - but not just yet!
2. myspace
3. world cup
4. metacafe
5. radioblog
6. wikipedia
7. video
8. rebelde
9. mininova
10. wiki
So we can relax, enjoy ourselves and keep on being fluffs! ;)
Hi there, fluffy! (Fluffy, The Empire Slayer? Ever seen The Decline of the American Empire? No? Good for you! Carry on then...)

How we came up with year-end Zeitgeist data
12/28/2006 04:01:00 PM
Posted by Artem Boytsov, Software Engineer
The Zeitgeist is "the spirit of time." This is why when we come up with the lists of top searches on Google.com for 2006, we do not simply retrieve the most frequently-searched terms for the period -- the truth is, they don't change that much from year to year. This list would be predominated by very generic searches, such as "ebay", "dictionary", "yellow pages," "games," "maps" -- and of course, a number of X-rated keywords. These are constants, and although unquestionably popular, we don't think they actually define the Zeitgeist.
Instead, we looked for those searches that were very popular in 2006 but were not as popular in 2005 -- the explosive queries, the topics that everyone obsessed over. To come up with this list, we looked at several thousand of 2006's most popular searches, and ranked them based on how much their popularity increased compared to 2005. ("Bebo", for example, had very little traffic in 2005.) We also gave a bit higher score to searches with more traffic. Similarly, our "what is" and "who is" lists are not necessarily the absolute most frequent searches, but rather those that best represent the passing year.
A final note: there was some confusion over the use of descriptors like "most popular" and "fastest-gaining" in media reports about our Zeitgeist. We've edited the 2006 Year-End Zeitgeist description to be more accurate on this point: "we compared frequent queries this year against 2005 to see what sorts of things were top of mind."
We hope you enjoyed our year-end Zeitgeist as much as we enjoyed working on it!
