Celebrity Death Watch – Google Hot Trends

As a blogger and internet writer, one of the resources I use is google’s Trends LABS “Hot Trends,” which can be found here – Google Hot Trends USA

I usually watch the American trends, and I gotta say – you guys search for some strange shit on google. Celebrity deaths? WTF dude?

No celebrities apart from George Carlin have died recently, yet yesterday, the hot search term being used on google was “celebrity death.” A day later, it is still up there.

Gay Socialites puts it down to a rumor started by Perez Hilton, who apparently posted that he had heard a celebrity died. He then removed the post and said he wasn’t going to say who had died so as not to perpetuate the rumor.

Don’t you people have anything better to do? When something like this hits the hot trends, you have to wonder at the use the internet is being put to. I wonder what we could achieve if we put that amount of effort into some thing worthwhile, like building a new Tower of Babel or developing a thinner iPhone.

Makes you think huh?
