And the eighth wonder of the world occurred in 2010. NowPublic survived - but what a shadow of its former self. Nothing worthwhile to read and so few contributors posting. 2011?

Based on the aggregation of billions of search queries people typed into Google this year, Zeitgeist captures the spirit of 2010.
