Highest searched terms in Google in 2008

This is very interesting. When I tried to see what are the most searched terms in the last year or say the Top keywords that have been searched the most in 2008; below is the list that was popped up by Google in Dec 2008:

1. obama
2. facebook
3. att
4. iphone
5. youtube
6. fox news
7. palin
8. beijing 2008
9. david cook
10. surf the channel

These were said to be the fastest-rising search terms in the U.S. for 2008. This was brought up after combing through billions of anonymous, aggregated search queries that had been in top-of-mind for Americans in 2008.

And while searching this, you know what? I guessed Obama would be in the first position and see I was right!
