Google: the words of 2013
Like every year, Google presents Zeitgeist, a list of the most searched words and emerging user searches over the course of a year on the most popular online search engine. The most searched words of 2013 (classified as emerging searches compared to the most searched words of all over the years) present as usual predictable results and others very curious. In the first place among the most carried out searches on Google there is "Elections 2013", immediately followed by "Paul Walker", the American actor who recently passed away, much sought after after the tragic car accident.
In third place on this list that reads the "spirit of the times" is "Zalando", a more than emerging fashion e-commerce site, which is enjoying great success among online fashion enthusiasts. The "Movimento 5Stelle" and "Beppe Grillo" are the most searched words in politics, apart from the 2013 elections. A good result for an atypical leader and for a political movement that has its greatest mass media presence on the internet. "IPhone 5s" surpasses " Pope Francis "in the volume of research of 2013, because the web, more than other means of communication, is better able to hold together the sacred and the profane.
Among the various curiosities that emerged, it is worth taking a "look at the research associated with a fixed starting formula, such as" What does it mean? " new Pope, precisely a Jesuit. In second place, what does "swag" mean, generically defined by the first results on Google as "a way of behaving, an attitude".
And the most searched recipes on Google in 2013? In the first place we find the "casatiello", an elaborate and rich savory pie of Campania origin (you can find an example photo below, taken by Judi and present on his Flickr profile). The second "cheesecake al Philadelphia", and to follow "sangria", "amatriciana" (immortal, although we should all know it by heart in Italy, but perhaps the web and the speed it enjoys allows an immediate refreshment of the memory), "tortano napoletano "(another savory cake from Campania)," chili "," macarons "(down from previous years)," ribollita "," felafel "and" long island ".
If we stay in the world of cooking, and take into consideration the Google list associated with the word "Eat", we see that in the first place there is "eat toilet paper" (yep ...), followed by searches on what to eat in case In the fourth place "eating mold", it is not known whether this gesture is a pure accident (for example eating a cheese and noticing only after it was moldy) or as a deliberate act (hopefully not).
Last curiosity, the list associated with the eternal question: "Does it make you lose weight?". He ranks first "Does zumba make you lose weight?", Followed by a series of utopian hypotheses, revealing the lazy soul and a bit crazy of us lonely and unseen internet surfers: "does chocolate make you lose weight?" (second place), and then: "Does studying make you lose weight?". In tenth place on this list, after "watermelon", "sauna", "marijuana", "yoga", "swim" and "sleep", the latest cry, which seeks to obtain good from evil: "crying makes you lose weight ? ".
