Top South African Google Searches Of 2011
Google announced its annual Zeitgeist, a look at 2011 through the collective eyes of the world on the web, offering a unique perspective on the year’s major events and hottest trends based on searches conducted in South Africa.
My only issue with WhatsApp it is the fact that you do not have control over who can text you using the service. I hate getting messages from numbers I don't know because you inevitably have to ask "who are you" and some people get all worked up that you do not have their numbers on your contacts
Julius Malema, who was recently suspended President of the ANC Youth League is reigning supreme on the list of top newsmakers. From marches to landmark speeches, a hospital trip and a hate speech ruling, Julius appeared in many South African and international headlines in 2011.
With his appeal hearing looming and the Mangaung conference expected to dominate news next year, Malema is certainly going to be a constant feature on many news headlines.
Sadly South African stars do not feature in the top celebrity search list. Reality tv star, Kim Kardashian tops that list and is joined by Idols, Beyoncé, Britney, Rihanna, Megan Fox, and Angelina Jolie. Clearly we still prefer to know more about Hollywood stars than our own.
In terms of the top global searches, American pop singer and YouTube star, Rebecca Black, is the top fastest rising search. The video of her single, Friday, went viral in March 2011, acquiring millions of views in just a few days.
Google’s newly launched social network, Google +, takes second place on the list. Adele, whose album 21 has been nominated for a ‘Best Album’ Grammy, makes another appearance, this time in seventh place, while Steve Jobs ironically outranks the device he introduced this year, the iPad 2.
