TV soap fans dominate Kenya’s google search

Google has released the Zeitgeist list for the top searches in 2012, revealing insightful and interesting results for Kenya. Leading the list for overall trending Kenyan searches in 2012 was the IEBC, followed by Facebook, Whitney Houston and Tubidy along with the late Njenga Karume and author/politician Miguna Miguna. The Zeitgeist includes top trending people in Kenya, TV shows, how to, what is, and top image searches – a pointer to what Kenyans were interested in 2012.

The increasing popularity of TV soaps has been reflected on the Google trends with Eva Luna, triumph of love and Pasion Morena among the trending TV shows. The main characters of these shows also featured prominently in Kenya’s top trending image searches.

Under the most searched terms in ‘how to’, Google trends shows ‘how to abort’ was the most term. Interestingly, ‘how to conceive’ was the fourth most searched item in this category.

The global Google Zeitgeist website was launched on Wednesday and will host all 838 top-ten lists from 55 countries. Visitors will be able to compare terms through interactive data visualization, check out global search trends, and watch the annual Zeitgeist video on the page http://www.google.com/zeitgeist/2012.
