What India searched most in 2010?
Bangalore: Indians stood at number three position after Chinese and Americans in terms of Google users. It is surprising to see that Google's most popular search term of the year is 'song'. And the most frequently searched brand name 'Nokia' followed by SBI, Samsung, Sony and BSNL respectively. It is time for Nokia, the leading cellphone handset provider to watch out for Micromax mobile, which is number two in the fastest rising searches. While the IRCTC (railway ticket booking) continues to top the charts of the year-on-year fastest rising bracket, some of the newer interesting entries this year are the low cost smart phone makers and YouTube Videos. As the FIFA World Cup grabbed the real world attention, and it is very surprising to see that 'cricket' didn't appear in the all-time top 10 most popular search terms. Amongst the most popular on the web - Songs, Facebook and Google remain the top three. Amongst the fastest rising people, Indians searched for British actress Aruna Shields and this year's new Bollywood sensation, Sonakshi Sinha. Other favorites from Bollywood were Zarine Khan, Katrina Kaif; and amongst the men, Salman Khan ruled the web.
