Net pulse of nation beats for stand-up comedian's jokes

进入英语学习论坛下载音频 去听写专区一展身手 In this time of gloom and doom, Chinese people went searching for a laugh. Stand-up comedians, spy TV series and stories of corrupt officials caught the eye and fingers of many Chinese Internet users, according to an annual list of the most searched words in 2009 released Wednesday by Google Inc's China office. At No 1 on the top 10 list was 42-year-old comedian Zhou Libo, popular for his Shanghainese dialect and his humorous look at world affairs, including poking fun at Chinese leaders. On the global scale, Michael Jackson's stunning death was the most read story on the Internet this year, according to annual lists released recently and compiled separately by Google Inc and Yahoo Inc. This is in sharp contrast with the list in other parts of the world where the online hangouts Facebook and Tuenti, a social networking site in Spain, both made Google's Top 10 list, as did the popular communications tool Twitter.
