searching the world over

What have you googled this year? Take a moment to think. Now check out the Google Zeitgeist (x-lation: "spirit of the times") Top Searches in 2006. Click on the different tabs to see searches in different categories. And graphs!

Of course, after reading these lists you may feel a little sad. What kind of world do we live in when these are the top four Google News searches?

1. Paris Hilton
2. Orlando Bloom
3. cancer (ok, I'll give you this one, world searchers)
   
4. Podcasting
   

Oh, and have you ever googled "Google"? So meta.

Searchin' to destroy,
