Top 10 Worldwide Rising Search Terms

GoogleEarlier this week Google (GOOG) released the fastest rising search terms in the US. I have received the fastest rising search terms Globally from Google and there are some interesting conclusions to point out. The full chart is below with links where CN has coverage. We often forget in U.S. tech coverage that there’s a world beyond our coasts.

Some takeaways:

  • The iPhone, Webkinz and YouTube are rising domestically and internationally
  • Facebook is growing faster overseas which makes sense given their strategy
  • eBuddy continues to be the leader in Web IM chat worldwide, while Meebo gets the most coverage stateside
  • Everyone was interested in the Club Penguin deal – more in the U.S. but the World wondered whether it was worth $700 million
  • MySpace big in U.S., Badoo, DailyMotion and Hi5 growing quicker overseas
  • Kids worldwide like the Webkinz
  • Only Americans care for Optimus Prime and deceased Playboy models

    Hi Allen, thanks for posting this; I’m going to forward this ’round Linden Lab, makers of Second Life. (I work for the company.) :) Can you please point me to the original source list for the global list? I followed various links and have been unable to find it so far. Thank-you!
