According to the Canadian Press (reported today in the Toronto Star, Dec. 27), Martina was the seventh top news search on Google. Someone please explain why????

The list is as follows:
1) Paris Hilton (again, WHY?)
2) Orlando Bloom
3) cancer (ok, this I understand)
4) podcasting
5) Hurricane Katrina
6) bankruptcy
7) Martina Hingis
8) autism
9) 2006 NHL draft
10) Celebrity Big Brother 2006 (?!)

Weird or what??? Sandwiched between bankruptcy and autism.

Well this is just in Canada right?

well done martina.

but i don't know if the numbers are for canada only. celebrity big brother doesn't air in canada, so why would we google it so much??

I think it's North America, not just Canada. Who knew she was so popular?

I don't know. It might be just Canada, if NHL Draft is on the list . . .

i'm sure that will more than make up for hingis' lack of success in grandslams this year.

I guess it's coz she became big news again in the sportsworld, so maybe people forgot about her/didn't know her, or fancied her :wub:

The explanation is simple, oblivion kept keying in her name. roflmao
