Tom's Top 5: Top 5 Google Searches for Fall 2010

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 – running time 03:41

Find out what's on the mind of the Internet world this Autumn.

Every three months I like to psycho-analyze the world. Google makes this popular. They are the most-used search engine in the world, so looking at the keyword trends is like looking into Earth's mind.

OK, so non-Internet using people will be underrepresented, and countries like China where Google is unpopular get the shaft too, but give me a break. We still get lots of great search terms from Turkey, so it's not a total loss.

Anyway I find it fascinating, and I gather some of you do too.

In other news of free things, don't forget to click on discussions at Tom's Top 5 to find the stupid trivia question thread for a chance to win the MacBook Pro keyboard covered used by Becky Worley.
