Microsoft Corp’s Bing has released its list of its most searched terms for this year. On an annual basis, the search engine comes out with a list of the terms that have been most searched by its online users throughout the year. The results are always interesting.
This year, women dominated the list of most searched people on the Website. The No. 1 spot was claimed by the new queen of pop, Beyonce. The R&B superstar has outpaced reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who dropped to the second spot in the list. Kardashian was well searched across the Internet during her controversial pregnancy and after she gave birth to her daughter North West, who is fathered by boyfriend Kanye West.
