When my 10-year old daughter gives me tons of questions, after answering at least a half of them I offer her to look the rest in the answers.com. So this site helps me and my family to get information needed.

@Anaokulu
I bet the people asking how to change their name are women who are getting married. I know because I recently had to find out how to do that! It’s interesting that while we have the top results, we don’t have intent.
It’s fun to see how people commenting on this post read the search terms. We have to guess what people are really looking for. A philosophical answer about the purpose of life? A name change because they don’t like their name?
That’s where the creativity comes in…what are people thinking? Sometimes it’s easy, other times, not so much.

I love these “top searches of [insert year]“… It’s amazing how much they can reveal about the state of the world through what people are looking for, what’s on everyone’s mind, etc… Very interesting.

Mine would be: ‘how do I get rich by the end of 2009?’ lol

Well, just joking! There are more vital intangible things to worry about like, happiness, friendships, satisfaction, sense of fulfillment,etc. to achieve and make possible come 2009!

These all seem to be geared towards teenagers. I guess that must be Ask.com's main audience because I don't know any adult that would ask the first quesiton. Patrick's last blog post..Super-Yachts Go Green With Wind and Solar Energy

Will ask.com help me answer the 4,000,000 questions a day my 3 year old asks me? If it has the answer to "why" they could charge a 3 figure subscription fee and I would still sign up! =) Matt Matt's last blog post..POLL: What Would You Like to See?

I would have hoped to see number 1 as “how do I stop myself getting pregnant”. Maybe that is because I am looking from the perspective of a dad with a teenage daughter!
