Google has published the 2005 edition of its annual Zeitgeist, which highlights some of the hings we've searched for over the past 12 months. This year there are some head-to-heads between major memes -- Trump v Martha, Hogwarts v Middle Earth, etc. And there's a particularly interesting one for MP3 v iPod v Podcast.....
(Charles Arthur adds: to be really useful to us in the UK, where Martha Stewart is hardly a household name, we'd need Google to filter the searches that came from UK IP addresses - which is, broadly, feasible; it does have a google.co.uk portal which pops up if it thinks you're coming from such an address. What chances of that in 2006, I wonder?)
