Holy Cow. I’m looking through Google Zeitgeist, and the Netherlands’ #2 query in May was “ajax”. It beat out “lindsey lohan”, “star wars”, and “xbox 360″, losing only to “paris hilton”. Is the entirety of the Netherlands a bunch of web geeks? You’d never see that here in the US…
Also, the #8 search for the Netherlands was “referendum”, so not only are they web geeks, they’re politically-minded web geeks. Wow.
And, since I can’t help but laugh at it, the #5 search for Norway was “pokemon”. Heehee…
You do know Ajax is a soccer team right? And sorry in advance if I ruined your joke.
Aaaah, I was wondering if there was something like that. :-)
So what’s up with “referendum”? Not another soccer team, are they? :-P
i dont know why you guys care so much. hahha you want to talk about web geeks…what kind of person looks to see what the #2 search engine topic is in the netherlands. i stumbled upon THIS site by accident. if i didnt have to be here i wouldnt.
serious
You’re correct, Dolphin. Heck, with all these Dutch people (plus a few South African friends) I’m picking up Dutch rather quickly. I’m starting to use ‘Gefiliciteerd’ in blog comments of Dutch people now instead of “Congratulations”.

A person with a curious mind. Or perhaps someone who stumbled upon it by accident and happened to have some interest in reading the content. ;-)
Please don’t feed the trolls, but yes, that’s exactly what happened. :-)
