Fun Stuff: Delhi users are more fun-loving with Orkut communities like stylish people, chocolate and unforgettable school life. |
"Bangalore is the true blue metropolis online, with mixed searches and communities for people from West Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu," said Rahul Kulkarni, product manager, Google India.
He said the results were unexpected, as there was no Bollywood celebrity or sportsperson community on the top.
In nationwide searches, Tamil cinema is on number seven. Even a community on TCS 2009 batch is in the top lists.
"There is no cricket in the top 10 list of the city, but soccer is picking up as Manchester and Arsenal football clubs have managed to find a place in the Mumbai search list.
Tamil cinemas are coming up with off-beat movies, which has made them score above Bollywood," Kulkarni added.
"We scoured through lists on a national level and then dug deeper into city trends. The results are fascinating," he said.
The Survey
Orkut looked at millions of communities and user trends to finally arrive at the 10 most popular communities.
The trends are based on an anonymous and aggregated study of the behaviour of Indian users over the past seven days.
The analysis was repeated over several seven- day periods, to confirm the accuracy of results. |
