Tops Hits, 2008

Search engine end-of-year “top lists” can be pretty darn boring.  Number one at Yahoo this year?  Britney Spears.  Do I care?  No.  (Here’s the list for Ask.com.  Google’s isn’t out yet, but it’ll be available here soon.)  All of this just tells me that there’s a bunch of bored tweens and teens out there looking for the same crap.  (So much for the Database of Intentions.)

But here’s a year-end list that does make me pay attention: the top 10 iPhone application downloads for 2008.  It’s an interesting list.  I wish Google had released its voice search app earlier in the year — I’d love to see how high it would have ranked.

This is all academic as far as I’m concerned, because yesterday I got a Googlephone.
