Have you ever wondered what others are searching for on the Internet?

I discovered this web site many years ago. Today, I visited it for the first time in a few months and thought that many of you would be interested in it as well. Like many cool technologies and web sites, this one comes from Google. It is called Zeitgeist (click here to visit the site) . According to m-w.com (Merriam Webster Online), zeitgeist is of German origin and means the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era. True to the definition that is exactly what Google's Zeitgeist is...a compilation of the top 10 searches on its site broken down by region, subject and overall. Looking through the lists is enlightening, entertaining and disturbing all at the same time.

To get you started, here are the top 10 overall searches on Google in 2006 (all the terms below are clickable):

1. bebo
2. myspace
3. world cup
4. metacafe
5. radioblog
6. wikipedia
7. video
8. rebelde
9. mininova
10. wiki
