Google Australia has revealed the top ten fastest rising searches for 2009 on google.com.au. A year ago the top searches included Heath Ledger, Barack Obama and iPhones. This year so far, the top three fastest rising searches have been ‘swine flu’, ‘susan boyle and ‘masterchef’.
Notably, among the top ten were also ‘twitter’, ‘bing’ and ‘stimulus package’. It’s certainly no surprise that ‘Michael Jackson’ has been one of the fastest rising people searches of the year so far, given his sudden and untimely death.
Following are a few of the top ten lists. See the rest of the lists at Official Google Australia Blog.
