Google's most requested searches 2008
Amazingly, Prince William is less popular than Prince Edward, according to the Google Zeitgeist list of the most searched people, names and places of 2008.

The Queen remains the nation’s favourite Royal, while Gordon Brown and David Cameron were bigger than Barack Obama.

The fallout from the credit crunch has also changed the way millions of home-owners surf the world’s most popular search engine.

“Jobs” was the tenth biggest overall search. Matt Brittin, Google UK director, told The Sun: “We have seen a huge shift with people using Google to look for ways to save money and find bargains.”
