Top 10 Worldwide Rising Search Terms
Written by Allen Stern - December 8, 2007
Earlier 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
| Fastest Rising U.S. | Fastest Rising Global | |
| 1 | iPhone | iPhone |
| 2 | Webkinz | Badoo |
| 3 | TMZ | |
| 4 | Transformers | Dailymotion |
| 5 | YouTube | Webkinz |
| 6 | Club Penguin | YouTube |
| 7 | MySpace | eBuddy |
| 8 | Heroes | Second Life |
| 9 | Hi5 | |
| 10 | Anna Nicole Smith | Club Penguin |

suprised the nintendo wii isn't on that
Same here - I thought for sure this would be up there given the holiday season...
How do some of the most popular music artists in the world avoid that list? That's crazy! Anna Nicole smith is searched for more than J-lo, or Brittney Spears!?@ Cheap...

It's increased searches, can't you read!It's not like Britney & J-Lo have come big in the past year!
Guess we need to work harder to get his messages out

ron paul is a hack. they all are. no one is voting republican, not after bush. i have a feeling that bush will call martial law before his term is out and then we are stuck with him.
But some searches may have variations in spelling, be contructed of sentences, and then not in this!!
I'm surprised that Blu-ray Disc wasn't on it.
Blu Ray - HA digital content is where it's at!
Tangible media is on it's way out.
Where is the Wii?
Kudos to Apple for the iPhone being #1 in the US and abroad.
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!
I heard that debt was one of the top searched terms, in fact 2nd highest, is that true?
