Boob Makes Net History

Janet Jackson’s breast has become the most searched-for image in net history. To this I reply, “No shit.”

    Search engines reported a big jump in searches for terms such as Janet Jackson and Super Bowl, as people turn to the web for images of the event.

    The maker of digital video recorders, Tivo, said it was also one of the most watched moments in US TV history, as people paused and replayed the event.

    ….Search engine Lycos said the brief flash of flesh had become the most searched for event in its history, even beating searches for 11 September.

    “On Monday, Janet Jackson and the half-time show received 60 times as many searches as the Paris Hilton sex tape and 80 times as many searches as Britney Spears,” said Aaron Schatz, who compiles a daily list of top search phrases for Lycos. [BBC]

Hey, Aaron is a Blogcritic, by the way.

    People using Google searched for “Janet Jackson” almost 10 times more the day after the game than they did on Sunday, said the company.

    And by Wednesday Jackson broke records on Yahoo, accounting for nearly 20% of all terms searched on the site.
