Chuck beats busty babes
Google’s search term summary called Zeitgeist, a German term meaning ‘the spirit (Geist) of the time (Zeit)’, gives an interesting glimpse into what makes South African Internet users tick.
Financial institutions, general news and mobile devices remain popular local search terms with ABSA, Vodacom, News and Standard Bank being the three most popular search terms. FNB and Computicket are also found in the top ten search terms.
But as everybody should know by now it is tough to keep Chuck Norris at bay. He broke into the South African top 10 search terms at number 7, beating the popular female celebrities Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson into 10th and 12th places respectively.
Chuck Norris was however not the only male celebrity on the list, with Robbie Williams sitting at number five and 50cent coming in at fourteen. William’s recent South African tour was definitely the driving force behind his search term popularity.
Internationally terms related to entertainment continued to dominate searched, with ‘barbaro’, ‘Audrey Tatou’, ‘over the hedge’, ‘opus dei’ and ‘Mischa Barton’ being the top five search terms. ‘Heather Mills’, ‘X-men’, ‘pentagon video’, ‘angels and airwaves’ and ‘Jimmy Hoffa’ completed the top ten.
