Google have compiled a list of the most searched for topics around the world and across each continent, and have named the list Zeitgeist – a German phrase thesocial media coaching literally translates to “Spirit of the Times”

The list shows that Rebecca Black is at the top of the list for the fastest rising global searcg query. This, for some, is pretty depressing. Apple get on the list 3 times with the iPhone 5, Steve Jobs and the iPad2. what can we learn from Google Zeitgeist 2011 ?? It doesn’t have to be good to get attention – it just has to be something that everyone is talking about.

For the UK, Ed Sheeran, Adele and the Royal Wedding were amongst the popular searches for the year. Before 2011, did anyone search for Ed Sheeran?

Globally Google+ was the second fastest rising search query, which just goes to show that whether we like to admit it or not, the whole world is obsessed with social media.
