When you talked about the comparison between ASK and Google with regard to the Presidential Eleections, You said its clear alot of people want to know about Fred, Hiliary and Barack… What you failed to mention is.. there are no Scales to these results list and it is possible Ron Paul searches on google (the major search engine) could quite easily be greater than all searchs for the other 3 combined, from both engines !!

RON PAUL for PRESIDENT

Users were ‘searching’ for YOUTUBE instead of putting it in the address bar – so Google took notice and now the YouTube link is in the MORE column in the homepage.

The first time Google has linked to a non Google domain there

I’ve got to agree with Tad, most times when people don’t know about you, even if you have no message or personality, they search to get information on you to try to understand why you are on the list and bingo! you suddenly become popular.

I think this is definitely happening here with Ron Paul and some of the others.

yes Zeitgeist :p

I’m sad for Mozart and Sudoku. The overall ranking is pretty pathetic looking at all the it-girls. I hope I won’t have to see them in there next year. That could be a good new year’s resolution “Google less gossip”.

Nobody knows who the hell is Ron Paul, but they look it up, due to the bullshit marketing everywhere (Digg flooding, Spam emails etc.)

Everybody knows Giuliani by now as he even appears in movies in contrast. So people do not look him up.

Being on top of Google Zeitgeist does not mean you are popular.

Besides Google Zeitgeist is heavily manipulated. Just compare it to Google Trends

Xanga – the web giveth and the web taketh away…

Websites are like some hot bands. Some make a big splash only to fade into obscurity a short time later.
