What % of searches on the Internet are people related? (i.e. searching for a specific person whether famous or not?)?

Interesting! I have noticed this from time to time, when looking at the "what is searched" keywords on search engines, during the 21 years I've been "on the internet". Although search engines are newer than that.

:) Here's some recent results... bing.com/xrank/ About 25% of the top keywords seem to be people, mostly celebrities. buzz.yahoo.com/yearinreview2008 In Y! Buzz's 2008 top searches, 6 out of 10 of the top 10 were people (all celebrities).

Today on Google, 31 out of 100 top searches were about people. Mostly people who were in current national news or who are celebrities. google.com/trends/hottrends?sa=X

:) usaweekend.com/98_issues/981108/981108ne... Interesting concept. It seems like perhaps a computer program using Google Trends could be written, but the software would have to have a corresponding database of people names. Even then, it might be very inaccurate.

Every time it saw the word "smith" it could assume it was a last name, when it might be a black smith (one who works with metal) . It would be an interesting challenge to program something to work "smart" and analyze this somewhat accurately.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
