The most Googled terms in 2011 are ...

It’s the end of the year. Therefore, time for lists. Facebook presented its own set of the most shared/read articles on the site by country earlier this month. Of course, the search giant Google has followed suit with 2011’s most searched words list or what they called the ‘Zeitgeist 2011’. The list has a bunch of surprises to offer. The most searched term worldwide was Rebecca Black, the singer who’s hit single Friday got nearly 167 million hits on YouTube. Second on the list was Google’s very own social networking site Google+. The late reality television star Ryan Dunn was the third most searched.

The late Apple founder, Steve Jobs, whose death was mourned by Apple fans worldwide was number nine, while Apple’s iPad 2 was number 10.
