Google Release End of Year Zeitgeist 2005

Pro Blogging News 1 comment

Google has just released their end of year Zeitgeist where they share a few details of some of the more popular search terms in different categories for the year on Google.

These type of lists are not only a bit of fun – I’ve previously used them in thinking about my blog strategies. While it is incredibly difficult to climb to the top of Google’s search results for these terms it gives you a hint as to what different people are into.

Plus they have cool little graphs! Here’s the one graphing the terms ipod, mp3 and podcast.
