Bangkok: December 8, 2010: Today, Google announced its annual Zeitgeist, a look at 2010 through the collective eyes of the world on the web. The 2010 Year-End Zeitgeist offers a unique perspective on the year’s major events and hottest trends based on global searches, as well as searches conducted in Thailand.

Thailand always amazes people around the world. What Thais search tells a lot about “Thai Thai Way”, especially the current affairs i.e. Red Shirt rallies and national catastrophes i.e. flood, that pull all interests together and led to aids from different bodies and authorities who have used internet and social networks for communications and spread out needs from devastated victims.

While Thais and entertain are attached very closely that the Star Singing Contest and stories of high-profile celebrities i.e. Thunya never miss the track. Social media i.e. Facebook plays so much outstanding role in Thailand this year that all or most popular search terms are shared or communicated through social media ready gadgets i.e. iPad or iPhone 4 or Blackberry or Nokia and even leading businesses apply this technology platform as a key marketing tool.

Zeitgeist Explained
Google reveals the internet “Zeitgeist” (German for “the spirit of the times”) through an exploration of the billions of search queries we receive each year. In addition to the Year-end Zeitgeist, which highlights the top trends of 2010, we also have several tools that give insight into global, regional, past and present search trends.
