Dec 7 2010Sadness: Top 10 Yahoo! Searches Of 2010

ugh-really.jpg

Because I like depressing the hell out of myself (I've been told it builds character), the top 10 Yahoo! searches of 2010 are, in no a very particular order (read: from 1 to 10) are, drum-roll please:

  1. BP Oil Spill
  2. World Cup
  3. Miley Cyrus
  4. Kim Kardashian
  5. Lady Gaga
  6. iPhone
  7. Megan Fox
  8. Justin Bieber
  9. American Idol
  10. Britney Spears

To put things in perspective, I'm actually climbing over the railing of my balcony right now. I'm coming, sidewalk!

iPhone 4 Hotter Than Megan Fox on Yahoo's Top 10 Searches for 2010 [iphonesavior]

Thanks to Michael, who agrees the only thing sadder is the top ten AOL searches.

Sick. Also first?

Britney is still a hot topic? Tragic.

come on, Really? people search the internet for things other then pr0n? I mean, i can see Megan Fox. But shouldn't the rest be related to what we all know the interwebs where created for? the sharing of low quality, amatuer or DVD ripped Pr0n videos and pictures...

Yahoo? What is that?

No, GW don't jump, use the stairs, it's healthier!

@3 Just add "nude" to each item on the list to see what people are really searching for. The BP pics are especially hot.

@6: Nude iPhones really appeal to a niche market.

OLD. READ THIS ON THE NEWS LAST WEEK.

OLD. TOLD THIS TO RAY LAST WEEK.

Neytiri didn't make top-10!? NOOOOOOO!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Guess I'll be changing all those tattoos to Britney then. Google me baby one more time!

The hot google searches today include "syphilis" and "immaculate conception". Some poor guy's asking himself "why me??".

Or ... I could've gone with a "your mom really gets around" joke.

@2 tragic is right... I agree

How's the comments section been lately fellow readers? I've been away & always hate missing my daily dose of geekologie. I'm sure Dishy has been keeping things afloat but I can't assume it will last forever.

Has GW done anything about all the ad-bot comments yet? I haven't read back yet....

Also in the top google searches: "throne of tides entrance location" and "qwap".

@13 ahh you're right there :)

After reading through the previous posts' comments I see (sadly) nothing has changed yet

@14: Nope. Although a response back from GW via e-mail says that a change in site format is on the way, so hopefully the problem is fixed down the line.

At this point, posting in the comments section is hit-or-miss. You might see some quality posts, or you might see an article with nothing but 50 Jonathan/Seth/McFeely clones copy-pasting the same comments over and over again.

Welcome back.

yo naasity, welcome back

still mad bots, still same ol' hilarious g-dub. and Dishy? she still makes me poop the pants daily. that's right I guessed 'she'.

Yahoo? Please, what kind of red neck is using the webs?

God dammit dumbass ad-bots... One simple scripting change barring any URLS to comments on the forum would fix it all anticlowns but noooo.... Thanks for responding :)

@15 GW told me those changes could take up to 99 years. This of course, was just before I bitch slapped him to the floor and said 'Hehehe... oh you're bleeding sorry but NO SRSLY when??'

@16 poop your pants daily?? Damn Dishy, send that guy a washing machine or something

@16 So it was you who bought those diapers! (Sorry I couldn't help myself).

all this shows is what freaks use yahoo for web searches.

@naas, I was wondering where you'd gone. Missed ya like I miss my deadlines. Like Johnathon misses the punch lines. ;)

Speaking of, I disagree @Johnathon. Things have been pretty damn funny lately. Glad you're such a good sport.

@DH, I'm actually in real-life a guy. At least last time I checked.

Yep, Dishy is keepin' it real

@21 just another project that needed completing. Doing this sometimes requires 100% of my attention & I rarely give 100% to anything in life these days. Glad things haven't been dull though, nobody likes dull except those little fem droids on the next post

Since "Star Wars" wasn't on the top search list, I can only assume that publishing it here was a mistake.

Maybe Yahoo should have published a list of "top 10 search engines used in 2010" and see if they even make the list.

But like 20 people uses yahoo, does that really matters?

Looks like the pre-teens are taking over the internet.

HOW IS THIS SAD?!?!! THESE PEOPLE SEARCHED THESE TERMS BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE! Let's look on the bright side ;)

Niether of the first 2 has boobs. I'm stunned, words can't describe it.

THIS IS THE BEST STUNNED ED ON GEEKOLOGIE EVER!!!

@29 the best what?

..ahh got it, didn't see @28. You're too quick me for me

This thing needs an edit button or a breathalyzer before typing... too quick FOR me

That's sad, no bacon. TToTT

@28 #6 has an app for that.

Yahoo? Really? That search engine's so overwhelmed with Flashturbation it's amazing anyone can dig their way to the entry field.

Do a flip!

I'mma go search geekologie a million bajillion times especially for you. I made up the number bajillion. it's like 0.0000000001

Louis of http://aprettyage.blogspot.com/

My friend used to work at Yahoo and he told me that the actual top 10 (more like top 100) searches are all porn-related.

The top 10 they actually give us are basically fabricated.

Can't really say it's surprising, right?

I'm calling bullshit on this one. We all know these top 10 search results things are always filtered. Come on, like "free porn" wasn't #1!

xD try searching '50 Most Popular Women on the Web'
read from 1 to 10...

Now a days yahoo's craze falls.........
