AOL releases 2006 top searches
Written by Allen Stern - December 13, 2006
AOL has released their top searches for 2006 list, shortly after Yahoo! released theirs. There are some similarities, and some differences.
For example, Yahoo! lists Britney as the number one most searched term, AOL lists "weather" as its top term. I think what this list shows is that AOL users are not as "entertainment" oriented as the general mass as reported by Yahoo!. Yahoo listed Anna Nicole's baby death as number one in news, on AOL it is gas prices which takes the top spot.
