Googling Gogol
Every year since 2001 Google has put together a list of the words or phrases most frequently requested through their search engine. So without further ado, the most common Google searches in Brazil in 2004 were:
1. Receita Federal [Federal Revenue and Customs Administration -- part of the federal Treasury Board / Ministry of Finance]
2. Hello Kitty
3. Bob Esponja [Sponge Bob -- pronounced Bobby Esponja]
4. Olympics
5. Sheet music for guitars
6. Linkin Park
7. Avril Lavigne [a Canadian on the Brazilian most wanted list. We have arrived!]
8. Harry Potter
Of course it is #2 and #3 that make me chuckle, particularly after the seriousness of #1. What else to say?
UPDATE: On further thought, lest people get the wrong impression, I thought I should add that the top four searches in the Global category were Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera and Pamela Anderson. Yikes!
