Some of the interesting observations:
– Anna Hazare and Poonam Pandey are fighting for the top spot (fastest rising query). {What inference can you draw from this?}
– Google is super honest about Zeitgeist, otherwise the editorial team would have kicked off Facebook from its #1 search spot (without the world even knowing about it). So hats off to them.
– Congratulations to Way2SMS for making it to the top 10 searches. It’s the only Indian technology brand out there (assuming railways as a consumer brand).
