Gadling

Big Brother named Google is watching and there's a tally of the number of people in countries who search certain key words. It's a fun little tally, though, although I'm not sure what the findings mean. Are these people's obsessions or just musings? I think another interesting tally would be words that countries don't Google. For example, "sex." This wins top place as the word typed in the most in Egypt, India and Turkey. I think in some countries Googling sex might find that person in a world of trouble. I also want to know what a Dolly Buster is. Is it a beer? A buxom blond? I could look it up, but I'd rather ask you all.

Here's more of the top searched words and the countries where the people are Googling them. I say this list also indicates where Internet access is more easily available--and perhaps who has desk jobs.
