Google Kenya has released some its top searches for the year 2011, including the most searched celebrity, news item and choice of entertainment.
Wayne Rooney ranks not too far from Nikki Minaj and Rihanna, while the National Basketball Association was surprisingly googled frequently alongside the much more obvious English Premier League.
The searches have been released as part of this “Zeitgeist” which means “the spirit of the times” – an annual exercise by Google to showcase what has been going on in the world that entire year, in the eyes of the world wide web.
