Google Announces Top 10 Gainers for last week
Share This May 7th, 2007 rpm
Google has recently announced their Top 10 Gainers for the Week Ending April 28, and it looks like earth day had a definite influence on the online community. April 22 was [earth day], and the growing interest in all things green led to countless events and activities for those who love the planet. Speaking of planets, a team of European astronomers announced that they found an Earth-like [new planet] relatively close to ours, unevocatively named Gliese 581C.
Other atmospheric news last week: Lt. Cdr. Kevin Davis of the [blue angels] died in a crash during an April 21 air show in Beaufort, S.C., and a new low-cost airline startup called [skybus] announced promotional fares of $10 a flight when it launches next month from Columbus, Oh.
Last week also included the release of [pokemon diamond], which in the first five days sold more than one million units (as did its cousing Pokemon Pearl), and the now-booming desert music festival [coachella], drawing a daily crowd of 60,000 fans this weekend who are braving the heat near Indio, Calif.
And headlines blared the story of [mike penner], a 23-year veteran of sportswriting for the Los Angeles Times, who announced in a column that he is transsexual, and after a leave, will return to his beat as Christine. And in Iraq-related news, former soldier [jessica lynch] testified this week before Congress that her well-known heroic saga in 2003 was a press fabrication; she credited Sgt. Donald Walters, who died in the ambush, as being the real hero.
Finally, celebutainment sources were all over [katie price], who with husband Peter Andre stars in a new E! “reality” series. The blonde model seems to be a magnet for headlines about her exploits, their kids, and Peter’s recent bout of meningitis. None of which our mom would condone - so don’t forget, [mother's day] is May 13.

Odd, terms in that top 10. can only identify with about 3 of them. I know about number 4, but would not go and search the topic. Number 10 is going to be much higher very soon! Earth Day wasn’t all that much publicised here in SA…

Only recognised no 4, 6 and then 10. Thought ‘earth day’ was some kind of hippie term up there with ‘new planet’ :-), forgot completely about it. Will have to go and google some of these and find out what the rest of the world is reading

Only recognised no 3 - Katie Price aka Jordan, an English glamour model with enormous pneumatic knockers.
