Okay, here's a great video produced by Google. It recaps the top stories of 2010. (Top searches? Is there a difference?) Along the way it highlights many of Google's products and services.
"Zeitgeist 2010: Year in Review"

The video is a lot of fun to watch. Really nice summary of the year, the highs and the lows, set to great music. I particularly like how they work in different Google products. Two of my favorites were: 1) Showing the integrated calling in Gmail by calling South Africa and hearing ... vuvuzelas! 2) Saying "and just like that 2010 flew by in an instant" and then showing off Google Instant (an amazing feature, when you think about it) by searching on, among other things, that Icelandic volcano whose name no one could spell--but it didn't matter because you only had to type the first few letters and you had your result. Perfect!
My girls, by the way, loved the fact that one of the instant searches near the end featured "Angry Birds." They love that game!
What an awesome video.
Don't forget, too, that you can see the most popular Google searches from 2010 here:

Play with this site a little, it's a lot of fun.
Search on.
