Microsoft did it, Yahoo did it and now Google did it as well, though with a slight twist. Bing gave us the top searches of 2009, Yahoo came out with a similar top, but Google is now releasing the top fastest rising searches of the year which doesn’t necessarily mean they were the most popular terms by volume. And if Yahoo’s top was significantly different from Bing’s, Google is a bit closer to Microsoft’s with several similar entries.
Hardly unexpected, Michael Jackson rules this top as well, but the queries following are, surprisingly or not, some of the hot social media services of the year, Facebook and Twitter which came in at number two and number four respectively in the global searches top. Twilight couldn’t be missing, of course, and ‘new moon’ lands at number six.
