Google Zeitgeist: Sarah Palin is Most Popular for 2008 on Google

We featured the popular searches for 2008 from Ask, Google Product Search, and Yahoo. But now, we get the official word on Google's front-facing search engine of the most popular terms. The 2008 Google Zeitgeist reveals the most popular terms:

1. sarah palin 2. beijing 2008 3. facebook login 4. tuenti 5. heath ledger 6. obama 7. nasza klasa 8. wer kennt wen 9. euro 2008 10. jonas brothers

The first thing that looked out of place was #3. I'm apparently not alone with that mindset. Why would so many people be searching for Facebook login?

In any event, here you go. These are Google's most popular searches.
