Google top 10 Australian searches for 2010

Aussie users of Google have been super interested in controversial topics for much of the year with Wikileaks, Andy Irons and Andrew Bolt amongst the most popular search terms. Sport’s been big as well with the World Cup with the Dukan Diet also being big topics of interest. 

Today, Google released the hottest search terms of 2010 - the fastest-rising and most popular terms that Australians tapped into Google.com.au this year. Search queries give us a glimpse into the big events, memorable moments and emerging trends that captivated us throughout 2010.

Aussies passion for connecting with each other using social media and technology continued in 2010 with social sites Chatroulette, Formspring, Tumblr and Omegle being popular.

The passing of Andy Irons had people turning to Google for more information, as did pop wunderkinds Cody Simpson and Justin Bieber. The Australian obsession with reality TV stars continued from 2009 with Bruce Jenner, Heidi Montag, Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson all making it into the top ten most searched-for celebrities. Love was in the air in 2010, as we turned online for the inside scoop on the celebrity weddings of Anna Paquin, Chelsea Clinton and Hilary Duff.

The Dukan and lemon detox diets were popular as were recipes for  minestrone, macaroons and chicken parmigiana. Out of the kitchen searches for Do-it-Yourself projects like kitchens, fencing, painting, decking and renovations were also popular.

On the sporting front, AFL remained in the number one position followed closely by NRL and cricket, with AFL's popularity peaking in the Northern Territory, Tassie and Victoria.
