Google Publishes Zeitgeist 2009 – Michael Jackson Crowned King Again

Microsoft already featured the top search terms entered in its Bing search engine this year, leading us to conclude that "Michael Jackson Beats Out Twitter" . On Bing, that is. But we could have picked nearly the same headline for Google's just-published Zeitgeist 2009 , only it would read "Michael Jackson Beats Out Twitter, Facebook And Windows 7". Google once again examined the billions of queries that people around the world typed into its search box, weeded out the spam and NSFW stuff and came up with this list.
