Google presents the most popular searches, globally known as Google Zeitgeist 2008.
For Germany, the most popular searches are eBay, YouTube, Weather and GMX. The List is also shown in Google-Watchblog.
Furthermore, it’s quite interesting to see that five social networks are among the german top ten of Fastest Rising – Wer kennt wen (#1), Facebook (#3), followed by SchülerVZ (#4), StudiVZ (#5) and Jappy (#6).
Actually, I didn’t hear much about the last community Jappy, so I did a quick research and here what I got: Jappy is a portal for singles, which replaced the Singlestreffen.net in 2002.
Back to “Wer kennt wen”:
It’s such an impressive fact to see that globally “Wer kennt wen” is among the top ten of Fastest Rising and it even ranked on the 8th place.
If one looks at the current numbers of IVW in November, one can see that Wer kennt wen network has shown more page impressions than StudiVZ (4 billion vs. 3.9 billion). Although StudiVZ lies considerably ahead of Wer kennt Wen and other Social Networks in Germany – with 166 millions numbers of visits – and yet, SchülerVZ stays on the top with 4.9 billion PIs.
But we need to take into account that page impressions alone, are not the only significant indicator, given the fact that every single photo click can actually generate few more page impressions.
