A recent article from BBC showed that MySpace and Bebo are the top searches for the year 2006. Here’s a complete list of those who made it to the Top 10:
1. Bebo
2. MySpace
3. World Cup
4. Metacafe
5. Radioblog
6. Wikipedia
7. Video
8. Rebelde
9. Mininova
10. Wiki
I was particularly surprised that Rebelde came in at #8. It had 236,164 searches in Yahoo for November alone.
Mexican soap opera Rebelde was the eighth most searched for term on Google over the last 12 months, a sign of the importance of the Spanish language on the net.
Rebelde ended its run on television in June but the actors in the soap opera have formed a popular band, called RBD, which keeps interest in the soap opera alive.
So, this is the reason why I’m getting thousands of hit from an old post about Rebelde.com back in December 2005. Those guys leaving ’em comments were actually Mexicans looking for the Rebelde TV soap opera website.

Why is You Tube not in the list? Does it mean that Bebo already replaced the popularity of You Tube?
