This time around I've been looking at some of the popular blogs and topics which are being accessed. It was surprising to see zero discussion about the global financial crisis, obviously that could also be covered by the 'news' category, but I had expected to see more. So I thought I'd look closer at the popular searches.
The top search, when I looked, was 'Taskbar'. Huh?
Second and third most popular searches were 'News' and 'Environment' - all very reasonable.
Fourth most popular - 'Jennifer Garner'. Hmm, this is weird. So I clicked on this one to see what was currently being said about Jennifer Garner and it turns out that she took her daughter Violet to a painting class today. It all becomes clear to me now.
Other popular searches were:
5. Men
6. Cheat-codes
7. Google
8. Paris Hilton
9. Jennifer Aniston
10. Vanessa Minnillo
11. Arab
12. Olympics
13. Kerry Howley
14. Noelia
15. IBM
It's interesting to see what the users of Technorati are looking for. When you click further to see the results of these various searches, there is also a graph which illustrates how many posts mentioning the subject have been created in the last 30 days. Apparently something juicy about Jennifer Garner occurred on 10 October - I'm desperate to investigate further :-)
Did you know that the top fan-rated blog in the world is called Boing Boing. I thought this might have been a beat-up but in actual fact it's true. Technorati describes it as '... a weblog of cultural curiosities and interesting technologies. It's the most popular blog in the world, as ranked by Technorati.com, and won the Lifetime Achievement and Best Group Blog awards at the 2006 Bloggies ceremony'. It was really quite interesting, I had a brief look around and found this. Fascinating!
I found it really amusing that the blog rated as second best was called 'Blog Tips to Help You Make Money Blogging'. A little unsurprising, no?
