Why?’ dominated the 2020 Google Year in Search

Published

on

In a year that tested everyone around the world, “why” was searched more than ever. That’s the biggest takeaway from Google’s annual “Year in Search” video. Some of those “why” questions were driven by the most dominant stories of the year: COVID-19 and social unrest around the world. Others were driven by what would have been huge stories in any year other than 2020: the Australia wildfires at the start of the year and the wildfires in the U.S.; the massive explosion in Beirut; and the deaths of luminaries like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and John Lewis, as well as celebrities including Chadwick Boseman and Eddie Van Halen.

From a marketer’s point of view, “why is toilet paper sold out” just might be the most representative search question of 2020. It captures the curiosity and frustration of the year, and it gets at shoppers’ need for basic, practical information. Indeed, searches for “who has” plus “in stock” were up over 8,000% year over year, according to Google Data. It’s a key indicator for marketers wondering how to market in a time of upheaval. From store hours to safety restrictions to learning how to work and teach at home, people turned to search.

Why I Stopped Using Social Media - Tinubu

By John Michael Ojo
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate  of  the ruling All Progressives  Congress has disclosed why he left social media platforms.

The former governor of Lagos State who has been at the center of controversies in a video shared by one of his allies, Ademola Oshodi on microblogging platform,  Twitter,  stated that he abandoned social media as a result of the insults hauled at him.

Tinubu also disclosed that he almost had health complication as a result of the attacks he received from social media on a daily basis.

Narrating his ordeal,  Tinubu said: “I don’t read social media anymore;  they abuse the hell out of me. If I read it, I get high blood pressure and angry.

“I don’t read it, so if I want to hear anything, my children or my workers would  say this one say this and when I’m tired, I say please forget it.”

Tinubu’s health has been a subject of concern particularly among members of the opposition and youths with many wondering if he is fit enough to contest in next year’s presidential election.

He has also in no doubt avoided every public debate so far conducted by well meaning Nigerians and conventional media houses.

He is also alleged to have been heavily involved in a hard drug scandal which took place in the United States in 1993.

A recent document tendered by the APC presidential flagbearer to the Independent  National Electoral Commission INEC, showed that Tinubu graduated from Government College Lagos in 1970, four years before the school was established in 1974.
