Top Google Searches and Twitter Trends for 2010

If you're interested in what the world was searching for and talking about in 2010, Google and Twitter recently published their year in reviews. Google Search, which I consider an information pull, and Twitter, which I usually call a push, have different top topics, but there are a few similarities between the two, including the one and only Justin Bieber.



In terms of other Google news searches, Haiti proved the most popular, followed by Turkish sports club Besiktas, Chile, “earthquake,” Lady Gaga and the iPhone 4. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill ranked 10th.
