Yahoo Post Top Searches For 2009 
By: Frank Reed 2009-12-01 Yesterday, Andy took a look at the top searches for bing in 2009 (am I supposed to capitalize bing or not, someone PLEASE clear that up for me). Today, courtesy of Digital Beat we look at the top searches for Yahoo for 2009. Whether they are playing follow their new leader or they want to still be known as a search engine, honestly I dont know. One thing for sure is, as Anthony Ha, wonders aloud While were on the subject of year in review lists, Ill add that Im baffled that these lists are coming out now. I understand why some publications feel comfortable doing a list of the best movies or books or whatever (since critics have often received advanced copies or screenings of whats coming out before the end of the year), but search terms? Really? Dont we have another month to go?Gotta agree with Anthony on that one but lets not nitpick when theres a silly list to dissect! Yahoos top searches read like a referendum on just how shallow we are in this world (social commentary is a freebie for you today) 1. Michael Jackson 2. Twilight 3. WWE 4. Megan Fox 5. Britney Spears 6. Naruto 7. American Idol 8. Kim Kardashian 9. NASCAR 10. Runescape So to prove just how shallow I am, I recognized 80% of the top 10 and I have to ask this: How the heck did NASCAR make the list?! Is there wifi at stills now? I have to admit I have no clue about Naruto or Runescape. Im back because I did a quick search for each of those on Yahoo to goose their numbers and I have determined that I was better off not knowing about them but now Im in. Now when talking about business related searches we have the classic showdown between Facebook and Twitter and ..drum roll please 1. Facebook 2. Twitter 3. Hulu 4. Bing 5. iPhone 6. LinkedIn 7. Dollar Stores 8. Palm Pre 9. Rosetta Stone 10. Kindle Well, while it still baffles me that people do searches for these terms at least Google didnt make the list. So now the question remains if Google will hold out and wait for 2009 to actually end before reporting their top searches for the year. Not much to look forward to, I agree, but its a slow news day.
