Google Lists The Top Search Trends Of 2011

As the year 2011 draws to an end, Google has released its annual Zeitgeist report that compiles an outlook on how the world searched. Apple-related searches, such as iPhone 5, Steve Jobs and iPad 2, took over the Top 10 global searches, ranking in at No. 6, No. 9 and No. 10. However, what topped the list is Rebecca Black, coming in at No. 1. Black is a teenager who created the one-hit-wonder ‘Friday,’ which was loved and hated by millions on YouTube.
