Google....

As i typed "http://www.google.co.in/" in my internet explorer toolbar, I knew a light glowed in the globe at the Google's headquarters. Yes, they got a globe which glows according to number of people using google from that place. It seems Africa remains a dark continent there also.
I happened to read about this in the book titled "The World is Flat" by Thomas L. Friedman. An extensively researched book about the latest trends in technologies by the American Journalist. The book also mentioned about a survey done by google on the searches that are carried out in google.The top 4 are as follows

1. Sex (no doubt in that)

2. God (hmm... good)

3. Jobs

4. Professional Wrestling.

Check out this link http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_World_is_Flat.
The last one do sounds different just as the author mentioned it in his book(I say this to avoid blogiarism.... does blogiarism exist???). It may be that anyone who is reading this searched for "professional wrestling" just to handle his Manager at office. Anybody out there????
Even the results mentioned form only 1 to 2 percent of the total searches(courtesy the same book). They keep changing with time, like Osama bin laden toping the charts for most searches after 9/11 attacks.
