As the year 2014 comes to an end, various websites are putting together all the memories of the past year in a condensed format. In this thread I shall be posting the year end diaries of various websites. Starting with Twitter,

Twitter

#-Link-Snipped-#

Twitter knows that it has now become a news tool like no other, that is why it begins its “2014 Year on Twitter” page with the line “If it happened in the world, it happened on Twitter”. You can view the global moments #-Link-Snipped-# and updates from India can be found #-Link-Snipped-#.

YouTube

​

The video sharing website owned by Google has a long tradition of putting all its popular artists in a rewind video. This time the theme of the video is Turn Down for 2014 and it can be viewed <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKx2B8WCQuw&feature=inp-bl-rew-rx0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">YouTube Rewind: Turn Down for 2014 - YouTube</a>. YouTube has listed the top 10 popular videos and top 10 popular music videos in this #-Link-Snipped-#. Go ahead and check whether your favourite artist has made its way to the list or not.


Updates will follow.

    Next on the list,

    Microsoft Bing

    Yes the less known search engine which Windows Phone users have to endure in association with the woeful Internet Explorer browser. Bing though is trying its best to beat Google and it has gone one step ahead and predicted the search trends of the next year too in its year end roundup, how amazing it that. The only trouble is that unlike Google it has not made a global version but has listed trends in country wise format.

    The 2014 Bing roundup for India can be found #-Link-Snipped-# and 2015 future global trends can be #-Link-Snipped-#.

    Here comes a rather unusual website,

    Wikipedia

    For the first time the free encyclopaedia website has aggregated top events of 2014 in a YouTube video. We are not spoiling it for you though, watch the video below. Check out [HASHTAG]#Edit2014[/HASHTAG]

    Here comes the oddball list of the entire year with

    BitTorrent Zeitgeist 2014

    You can think it as the Google Zeitgeist for pirates. Normally we refrain talking about piracy on CrazyEngineers website but this search trend not just shows the top pirated TV shows, music and movies but also how pirated content is being consumed across the planet. Did you know that the search phrase 1080p has climbed from 42nd to 3rd this year. This shows people are getting more inclined to download higher resolution content more than ever.

    For more head over to <a href="https://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-zeitgeist-people-search-2014-141231/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BitTorrent Zeitgeist: What People Search for in 2014 * TorrentFreak</a>
