2011's Top Ten Search Terms on Yahoo, Facebook, and Bing; Yahoo to Terminate Its Iconic Bay Area Bridge Billboard

Did you every wonder what people search for online? Well, the owners of search engines do more than wonder. They keep stats on the public's taste for the truth. Around this time of year, results are released. So, for fans of Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, and other celebrities who haven't met a camera they haven't liked, ABC News has a report offering a summary of the 2011 search result data for Yahoo, Facebook, and Bing. Dig in and go crazy!

Yahoo's Iconic Billboard Near Bay Bridge Entrance
PS. The San Jose Mercury News reported in today's online edition that Yahoo's billboard at the eastbound I-80 approach to the Bay Bridge will be dismantled. Yahoo, according to the story, has been tightlipped about the report.

Why would Yahoo drop the billboard? Keep in mind the sense that Yahoo is in play, with buyers circling the firm like so many sharks sensing an available victim for their commercial appetites. Perhaps Yahoo is sending the world a signal that times are changing at the still very valuable search firm.
