Search engines serve Michael

This year, Michael Jackson was the most searched name on Yahoo, Google, and Bing, ending Britney Spears’ four-year reign on Yahoo. Michael was also the king of search speed increases on Google. Microsoft announced that Michael Jackson, Twitter, and Swine Flu were the most searched on Bing. This search engine was launched in June of this year. This year, Michael broke many records on Yahoo. The memorial ceremony held in July had 5 million views and was the most engaging event in the history of this site for users. The most searched terms on Yahoo this year after Michael included the book and film Twilight, World Wrestling, and Megan Fox, the actress. With an influx of internet users searching for Michael, Barack Obama was pushed out of the top 10 searches of the year. Before Michael’s death, Obama’s inauguration had the highest traffic. But after the music legend passed away, Michael took his place. As a result, Obama fell from rank 3 in 2008 to rank 44 in 2009. A Yahoo analyst, Vera Chan, says: “Michael Jackson’s death had all the elements needed to shake the world. It was sudden, it left everyone in shock and disbelief, and it was horrifyingly reminiscent of the tragic endings of legends like John Lennon or Elvis Presley. His death was labeled a murder. That’s why the story continues. The mystery of his death has not been solved.” This year, Spears fell from the top of internet searches to fifth place. Ms. Chan says that during her four years at the top, this female singer was not at her best on the best days, and she was more popular among users because of her problems. Vera Chan is pleased that users have finally stopped paying attention to Britney and her issues. Source: eMJey / PC World
