Ten Years of Search Terms

[haui]

With 10 years of watching Web users search under its belt, The Lycos 50 has released a recap spanning from September 1995 through the week ending September 17, 2005.

The ever-preserved Pam Anderson tops the list in the number one spot spurring Dean Tsouvalas, writer of the Lycos 50 list, to declare it, "The decade of Pam Anderson." Other personalities have survived on the list, including Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Janet Jackson -- though the latter's appearance is likely due to the infamous wardrobe malfunction.

The Lycos 50 has grown into a bellwether of emerging trends, according to Tsouvalas. "From what I understand, insiders in the marketing world have all bookmarked the top 50. It's a smart way of understanding the Web, which at times can be intangible, but this makes it tangible for real people."

Pam Anderson, well that could be: just remember for how long she is famous, on the 3rd place comes Britney Spears who isn't famous for such a long time like Pam Anderson.

Or maybe Baywatch starts playing in China and India
