The eleventh annual release of Google Zeitgeist went live yesterday, revealing top ten lists for the fasting rising and fastest falling global queries for how the world searched in 2011.
The interactive experience illuminates our interests and fascinations, from the high ranking Apple queries to Rebecca Black, Adele, and Google+. Most of all, it tracks our voracious appetite for information and our inclination to turn to the web as life progresses.
For more information about the Zeitgeist project and access to additional tools (including a real-time tracker of the top 100 fastest-rising search terms), check out the Google Zeitgeist Index.
