Although Google recently released their 2008 Year-End Google Zeitgeist, I’d like to point out a significant oversight in their methodology: If they were to treat every individual searcher’s name as a single search term, I’m pretty sure the number one search would be a form of Googlewanking. And for the record, if you’re prone to this behavior and find you’ve left an embarrassing trail on line, you might want to try a Googlewashing service. In any case, I think it says something about America that the top searches haven’t changed much since the . People still pretty much search for celebrities, games, and cataclysmic events. Personally, since I have to do a lot of research for clients, I think I’ve actually viewed all the pages in Google (as I joked with a friend the other day: “The Internet? I’ve seen it.”), so I’m always looking for new tools. One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while is Idée Labs’ tools like Multicolr Search. Click colors and it finds photos that contain them. Or TinEye. Give it an image and it will tell you where the image appears on the web. And for you Googlewankers who haven’t seen the entire Internet yet, maybe you should talk to Ms Dewey, if you haven’t met her before. And since she takes so long to get loaded, here’s your Monday time-waster: MindCards. Annoyingly simple, yet annoyingly hard to score well on.
