WALTHAM, Mass. – Global Internet network Terra Lycos has announced the following information from The Lycos 50 (http://50.lycos.com), a weekly list of the top people, places and things users are searching for online. The terrorist attacks on America brought a whole host of new items onto The Lycos 50, and six months later, a number of topics, while down from their September search totals, still receive many more searches than they did before the attacks. Terms like Pentagon, Red Cross, Osama bin Laden, and Anthrax each received only a handful of searches before Sept. 11. While none of these terms currently rank in the top 50, they have received a significant boost in Internet interest because of the attacks and people still continue to search for them.
The week after the Sept. 11 attack on America, 24 of the 50 items on The Lycos 50 were directly related to the attacks and some search terms remained on the list for several weeks. bin Laden spent 14 weeks in the top 10, including holding the number one spot for five weeks. Three Sept. 11-related search topics – bin Laden, Nostradamus and World Trade Center – were among the 10 most searched topics for the entire year of 2001
