BBC article on search trends
Google taps into search patterns

Nice little article referring to the recent Zeitgeist 2005 List released by Google this week.
This interest in using the web less as a shop and more as a collaborative tool to share images and experiences is also reflected in the terms that Google said interest in which had grown the most.
I just wanted to pick up on this quote from the article which mimics what I was saying in my last post
…a new more dynamic web no longer a place where you just look for and collect information but a place where you can store and organize it too.

The traditional media are only now catching on to the web as a collaborative tool. Kids/teenagers/young adults have always used the web primarily as a place to meet and communicate with their friends. Those less proficient types saw it as some sort of advertising/shop thing because they never really understood the concepts. Nowadays the collaborative element has become mainstream, so old media is finally beginning to cop on - but still have a long way to go.
