It has been an interesting year so far, let’s take a look back at some of the biggest topics to sweep across the Internet.

1. Michael Jackson Dies – Also the most recent, this topic has been getting more hits than anything else this year sadly, even during the midst of a recession.
2. Farrah Fawcett Dies – Undoubtedly much sadder a loss than Michael Jackson, she unfortunately is getting less coverage than him.
3. Economic Crisis/Recession – The United States is facing some hard times right now, and everyone is talking about it.
4. California Budget – California is failing time and time again to resolve it’s current budget issue, and the Internet is watching as the Terminator tries to fix it without increasing taxes.
5. Swine Flu – That pesky trans-species flu that has done significantly less damage than the regular annual flu.
6. Susan Boyle – Rags to Riches to Hospital to Internet fad, Susan Boyle momentarily caught the Internets hearts, and then was quickly forgot again.
7. PIRATES! – Somalian pirates are ravaging the high seas of…. Somalia, and bringing true light to the actual nature of pirates, not the glorified Disney version.
8. Obama Rama – The now president gained some interesting momentum during his election as viral campaigning appeared to capture the votes of the younger Internet generation.
9. Politicians and their Affairs – Cheating politicians collectively earned their way up here. Unlike Hollywood, bad publicity is bad…. well you don’t get reelected and possibly lose your position. Plus people hate you.
10. Honorable mention – Porn, cheat codes, famous female actresses pictures, these are normal though.
