It fascinates me when Google’s top search terms are so generic, like “Sarah Palin” or “Obama” or “Nasza Klasa.” At any rate, Google has declared the year over and released its list of top ten most searched terms in the whole universe in the year 2008.

1. Sarah Palin

2. Beijing 2008

3. Facebook login

4. Tuenti

5. Heath Ledger

6. Obama

7. Nasza Klasa

8. Wer Kennt Wen

9. Euro 2008

10. Jonas Brothers

As the year comes to a close, it's time to look at the big events, memorable moments and emerging trends that captivated us in 2008. As it happens, studying the aggregation of the billions of search queries that people type into the Google search box gives us a glimpse into the zeitgeist — the spirit of the times. We've compiled some of the highlights from Google searches around the globe and hope you enjoy looking back as much as we do. (google)
