2011 in Review

[Netjet!]

This year featured a lot of violence, revolution and change. From the Arab Spring in the Middle East, to the Occupy Wall Street Protests, to protests in the UK and other places around the world, revolution came together, and change was sought and accomplished. Wars raged on, and people died. But through this, the message of hope and peace shined through.

Compared to 2010 this year was quite a battle. Hope everyone had a good 2011, and here's looking to a better 2012.

All of those make sense except number five. RB being the most Googled thing 2011 is really sad, but it still makes sense.

You know you googled Battlefield 3.

Therefore it makes sense.

Re: 2011 in Review

You made some very good points, OP. Not that this is nearly as serious as an issue, but SOPA also caused a lot of drama, and may cause more in 2012 until we find out if it passes or not. I doubt it will.

However, despite all the drama and angst, it was a good year, and I'm ready for another good one to start. :3 See you all in 2012!

Re: 2011 in Review

Another thing that struck me in this was that for the 2010 in review video at the end, the search bar read along the lines of "What a good year. What's next in 2011?" and in this one, it simply said "We made it". That made me tear up a little.

Re: 2011 in Review

I had a lot of fun this year. Even though there wasn't very happy things going on in the world this year.
Can't quite say I searched for anything other than maybe that Fukushima reactor accident.

Re: 2011 in Review

I'm glad this year's over. Usually I look back and smile on New Years' Eve but I can't do that this year. Best of luck and good fortune to all of you in '12.

Really? BF3 was a massively anticipated release yo, BF2 is still a fairly popular game seven years after release.

I probably searched some of these. BF3 and G+ for sure.

Yeah I know, I just didn't think it was that popular. I mean, I own it but I couldn't imagine it being the fifth most searched thing.
