Ever wonder what people are googling? And by country? Guess we know where the drinkers are and those wanting botox. And Britney, Americans really are tired of hearing about you. Our infamous 920 calorie breakfast burrito is even a big hitter in Argentina, how proud Hardee’s must be. Sex, gays, viagra, Google has the stats for you. Google is about the only search engine I use, wonder what they have on me? Other than where I live, credit card number etc etc, not much

Fascinating.
(…and I love the quote and the image with it!)
These do not surprise me. Actually “hangover”I would think the US would be first to google that.
Google owns me.. the other search engines..bah humbug!
Hey you asked me if I had been watching Moonlight..guuurrll AM I! I’ve been meaning to post another blog about it but I figured everyone was tired of me promoting ‘the vampire show’. lol We all curl up on the couch on Friday nights and wait for Mr. O’Loughlin to enter our lives. Did you see the previews for this week’s eppy? *sigh*
I don’t believe that I have ever googled any of the above, I must just be plain boring, I guess…….
I’m with you guys… Google is my search engine, and has been since about 2001… I love them… And as far as what they have stats on about me… Probably maps, phone numbers, all kinds of things about kids illnesses, and school assignments… (Oh, and maybe something about burritos
)
Thanks for sharing, Elaine. You always have something interesting to say.
Interesting to read what the world is thinking about.
Karen – Thanks! Glad you like the quote, I thought the image was nice too
Janet – some of them did surprise me though, course I never gave it much thought to what other people google.
Kimmy – Yes saw the previews…will be tuned in tonight for sure!
Mary Anne - nah not boring at all
Julie – I’m a google fan too, rarely if ever use any other search engine.
Janet – it is interesting, wonder if the rest of the world uses google as much as us? Guess I should go google that
Hey, you weren’t supposed to use my buff picture for that steriods highlight! ;o)
Google is going to buy us all out!
Very interesting Elaine, the “Botox” nations do not surprise me and I notice Australia is listed in 7 of the 16.
Hey thanks for dropping by my blog….I see you have another Mary Anne who dropped by as well…..I just did a post on places around my home…if you liked my other pictures you might like the ones I just posted…it is part of a “get to know your blogging friends” being hosted by another blogger….the idea is to post 10 pictures about where you live….it’s kinda neat idea….so how did you find me anyway? Did you google me? cheers have a fantastic weekend
Elaine,
Ok…I think I can stop laughing now. First…the Google results…then Gandalfe’s comment…LOL.
I have to admit that I am not surprised by some of them…but am about others. Google is also my favorite search engine.
Your blogs ARE always interesting and informative.
I also appreciate your imput on my site. On the telephone solicitation…we do have a similar sign up…but it excludes charities and political surveys.
Love and hugs,
Beth
Grandalfe - LOL my husband says the same thing
Ottavio – I noticed that…and quite a few matches for US and Australia which is not surprising.
smalltownRN – nope did not google you, a mutual blog we had both commented at (life in westcliffe)
Beth – seems google owns us all
I think Google needs some serious competition. Did you notice these search engines seem to originate from the male species? I think we lady bloggers need to get together (of course, men are welcome too) and give them a run for their money.
Australia and Canada seem to spend a lot of time googling.
Great info!
PS Thanks for adding me to your blogroll!
Keli - good idea! Hear that lady bloggers? And you’re welcome, your blog always makes me smile and laugh
Hmm…so my beloved countrymen are looking for Sex. But not Britney or Viagra which makes me happy for them
