Google’s Zeitgeist is one of my favorite websites that keep me up-to-date on the popular search keywords in different countries. As 2007 ended, they released 2007 Year-End Zeitgeist indicating the fastest rising and falling search queries in U.S. and across the globe. It’s no surprise that gadgets like iphone tops the chart of fastest rising keywords while communities like facebook, youtube and hi5 also get their places on the list.
I also looked up the top search keywords in Hong Kong and China in December 2007. As you can imagine, Chinese people in these 2 places tend to search with entertainment buzzwords. Names of online game, TV program, novel and song once again got a place on the Hong Kong and China’s top queries lists. Cell phone models and electronic gadgets are also popular queries in Hong Kong. Three out of the fifteen top keywords in Hong Kong in December 2007 belong to this type of B2C Consumer Electronics.
