Google Zeitgeist 2011: Year In Review

An amazing video summary of the year that Google started putting together last year. To me the biggest story of the year is the collective protesting that we have seen take place around the world. Whether protesting for political reform (Egypt & Sudan) or equality (Occupy), it seems that citizens around the world feel more empowered than ever before. With the proliferation of information access through social media, this is not a trend I think will fade away anytime soon.

To only further solidify this ongoing trend, TIME Magazine named it’s coveted Person of the Year to simply be “The Protestor”.
