This year it seems people realized that booking their railway tickets online was much easier and convenient than going through booking agents or standing in long queues at the railway station. Micromax, a relatively unknown brand last year, definitely came to prominence this year with its host of low-cost mobile phones portfolio — and aggressive advertising.
This was the year of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, a fact reflected by people’s growing interest in Google Zeitgeist’s fastest rising search terms. Facebook continues to be the top destination for social networking, although Twitter also made its presence felt lower down the list.
