Google’s Zeitgeist 2012 is officially out, and it’s everything we hoped it would be and more. They took the mass of Google searches from throughout the year, along with other search engines and trends, and came up with some pretty awesome results. KONY 2012 just so happened to be on that list, along with Joseph Kony as the number nine trending person of 2012.
