For the second year in a row, Poker draws the top spot, generating more search activity with Lycos users in 2007 than any other search term. Propelled by the continued success of the World Poker Tour and numerous televised celebrity poker tournaments, online interest in Poker dominates Lycos's search logs week after week. Even the headline-grabbing tabloid antics of Britney Spears were unable to topple Poker from the number one spot on this year's list. Britney does ... reign supreme among the most- searched women of 2007, generating more searches than Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith. Two newcomers to the Lycos 50 Top Search List of 2007 are Disney's "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens and "American Idol" contestant, Antonella Barba. While each gained a good deal of attention from their television face time in 2007, it was the individual nude photo scandals that drove search interest in the young starlets over the top.

The Lycos Phone client can pull dynamic content from Lycos such as sports scores, multimedia content, and more. Lycos' goal is to make the client a "portal" with plenty of "stickiness" to keep users within the application so they view the advertisements and offers. It leverages XML, so users can add their own XML feeds (blogs, favorite sites, etc.)

Just as the September 11 terrorist attacks had a dramatic effect on Web search activity, so the beginning of the War on Iraq (#2) has ... brought a number of new topics to The Lycos 50. "Despite huge levels of war interest, and reduced levels of basketball interest, March Madness still came out on top with Web users by a margin of one percent," said Aaron Schatz, writer of The Lycos 50. "The NCAA basketball tournament generates the most search activity online each year, thanks to the popularity of brackets and office pools. This year, the NCAA Tournament received about 30 percent fewer searches than last year, because by mid-week, the nation had turned its attention to war."
