There is something about starting a New Year afresh, looking to the future and aspiring to live this new year better than the one before! There is also something to be said for nostalgia and reminiscing about the past, how last year ‘flew’ by and maybe in hindsight, it was the best year ever! So let’s have a flying look back into one aspect of our lives…our online searches from 2006!

What’s fascinating, besides the absolute random, sometimes outright bizarre things we search, is the polar differences between Google and Yahoo’s top 10! There’s obviously been some tweaking (naughty phrases scrapped) but it’s quite clear Google and Yahoo! have taken very different tacks with their final analysis!
There! Past revisited and now the future to predict, but I shall leave that hypothesizing to another of my colleagues. May you all continue to find what you’re searching for!
