Top Web Searches for 2008 - Paris Hilton and Anna Kournikova still No 1
In a year of enormous turmoil in the physical world it is wonderful to see the virtual world of the web has steadfastly held to its primary concerns. The Top Web Searches for 2008 are revealing - and so probably are some of the results.
Even though there is a new celebrity in the Top Women searches on Lycos - Sarah Palin - it is perhaps no surprise to see the other 4:
Paris Hilton- Sarah Palin
- Britney Spears
- Pamela Anderson
- Holly Madison
Celebrity newsflashes also dominated the Top News Stories, with Heath Ledger, Clay Aiken, Paul Newman and Jennifer Hudson of more interest than earthquakes and wars.
Meanwhile, the public chose Top Sports Stars who combined attractiveness along with accomplishment - again, no great surprise:
Anna Kournikova- Danica Patrick
- Maria Sharapova
- Michael Phelps
- Serena Williams
We applaud the public who keep Anna’s flame alight - she is still such a darling of webfolk.
3 of the top 5 sports stars are tennis players - more great coverage this week on the Australian Open
