Googles Global Zeitgeist - 2008 Edition

Last week Google revealed the fastest growing search terms for the United States, which we looked at here. Now Google has released their Zeitgeist for Over 30 Countries
Let's look at that global list:

   1. sarah palin
   2. beijing 2008
   3. facebook login
   4. tuenti
   5. heath ledger
   6. obama
   7. nasza klasa
   8. wer kennt wen
   9. euro 2008
10. jonas brothers

As far as the U.S. is concerned, Google $Google Zeitgeist 2008 for U.S.' /></a><br /><br />I would have expected the Jonas Brothers to make a top ten list here in the U.S where they are myesteriously absent., but I'm a little surprised to see them make it on a global scale. I apparently have a lot to learn about the Jonas Bros.</p> </div> <script> (function() { function initCopyableSections() { document.querySelectorAll('.article-content .copyable-section').forEach(function(section) { if (section.querySelector('.copyable-section__btn')) return; var btn = document.createElement('button'); btn.type = 'button'; btn.className = 'copyable-section__btn'; btn.setAttribute('aria-label', 'Copy to clipboard'); var label = section.getAttribute('data-copy-label'); btn.textContent = label ? 'Copy ' + label : 'Copy'; section.appendChild(btn); btn.addEventListener('click', function() { var contentEl = section.querySelector('.copyable-section__content'); var text; if (contentEl) { text = contentEl.textContent.trim(); } else { var clone = section.cloneNode(true); var btnClone = clone.querySelector('.copyable-section__btn'); if (btnClone) btnClone.parentNode.removeChild(btnClone); text = clone.textContent.trim(); } if (!text) return; navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(function() { var t = btn.textContent; btn.textContent = 'Copied!'; btn.classList.add('copied'); setTimeout(function() { btn.textContent = t; btn.classList.remove('copied'); }, 2000); }); }); }); } if (document.readyState === 'loading') { document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', initCopyableSections); } else { initCopyableSections(); } })(); </script>   <div class=$
