'iPhone 5' Ranked as Sixth Fastest-Rising Google Search of 2011

[ThunderSkunk]

'FASTEST RISING', everybody. Not 'most popular' or 'highest frequency'. Fastest rising. Why is this so hard to understand?!

Who says we don't understand it?

The disbelief would be even more severe if it were the highest freq.

Anyone with a radio knows who Adele is. You don't?!

Outside the occasional stop in a pub, I haven't listened to a radio in a decade. ...or watched tv. It was all garbage, all the time, and hasn't improved as far as I can tell.

#11 is 'google evil'

 

[Thunderhawks]

I assume this is the rankings for the US and not the world?

6 of the top 10 would be of absolutely no interest to anyone I know

Neither is anything in this Google press release

We get it people look for stuff!

Adele and Ryan Dunn are probably going to rise up on that list. I bet a ton of people are going google them, now, to see who they are...I've never heard of them and am kind of curious to see who they are and why people are googling them.

I can understand you saying that about Black, but Adele? Seriously!?!?

If you (collectively) bothered to actually read the page, it very clearly says
"Global Fastest Rising Searches, 2011"

But yes, we should in fact wait for the Google Conspiracy to confirm that for us, and engage in wild, accusatory speculation until then.

I missed that part.

I try to avoid looking at anything from/about Google for too long. For all I know, they've developed some new way of scanning me for my private information every time I read about them or watch one of their commercials on TV.

Fandroids may appreciate Google selling their private and personal information to every ad company out there, but I don't.

And although I think it should go without saying, my tongue is planted in my cheek as I write this.

I've not heard of any of the three people on the top line and I'm not searching google to find out who they are either.

-edit-
But I'm ashamed to admit that I did just watch that video someone posted, yeah all the way to the end lol, is there a vid where her voice hasn't been run through a computer?. I didn't realise she was young, I thought she was in her twenties from that little pic in the ranking image.

Everyone should check out Adele though, she can really sing, if she had been born in the US I don't think she would have made it big because your celebs all have to be hot & sexy but because now she's already established in the UK she could make it big stateside too.

Zack Galifianakis, Kathy Bates, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love, Kelly Osborne, Tori Spelling, just to name a few from the past few decades.

Check and mate.

Never heard of her until today. On the radio, I listen to NPR, mostly, and then country or hard rock stations. The name never came up on any of those. I do use iTunes but never noticed her name anywhere in the store. Though, I mostly ignore everything and focus only on what I want to download. I don't use it to browse.

delete pls

Ironically enough, you could Google her and find out...

that's exactly what i did after my post. I read about, and watched the video. I still don't understand why so many people talk about her or her video. She just a silly preteen girl who made a song and video geared toward silly preteen girls. why anyone else is watching or listening to this music is beyond me.

I only knew who ryan dunn was cause of all news tories after his death. Considering how he killed himself and the name of his show, it looks like he lived up to the show's name. He won't be missed

Watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0
I claim no responsibility for any damage that occurs while watching it.

I made it to 0:45, and to avoid damage as you suggested, I bailed.

I couldn't help wondering if anyone over the age of 13 actually watches that ****.

And while I'm being a superior snot about this, that kid is making more in a day or two than I make in a year.

I'm just jealous...

#2 is Google+ ??? There's no way... why would anyone search for that when it's been plastered all over the main page? You don't have to search for it when they're trying to cram it down everyone's throat.

 

[twoodcc]

i'm surprised Steve Jobs isn't number one on there.

Wow that was the first time in a looooong time haha.

How is Rebecca Black still number one? #FAIL

Yes, humanity has failed again.

Is it weird that I do not know the people in the top row

I'm talking about the America of TODAY!. In the past you were no-where near as obsessed with air-brushed perfect looking celebs as you are today. So how many on that list are from today (ie THIS decade)?, I don't know Zack whosit so that leaves Kelly Osbourne who is good at what exactly?, she wouldn't have become a celeb at all if it wasn't for who her Dad is.

Why are people searching iPhone 5? The next iPhone is going to be the iPhone 6.

I bet you 1 bazillion dollers there will be no iphone six. Just cause of the potential sex jokes it will bring.

Erm.

How can Kindle Fire outrank iPad2 in consumer electronics, if iPad2 came tenth in total?
