| One to Watch: Anne Geddes |
Australian photographer
Anne Geddes specializes in elaborate cutesy-baby photos. Some of her shots may seem a tad sweety-cakes -- and others are just plain disturbing -- but judging by our search logs Geddes has a growing following. She also has a raft of books and calendars out this fall; if you haven't seen her work yet, we're betting you will soon. |
Fast Risers |
The following terms have also been rising briskly recently... |
| |
| Dino Crisis |
New from Capcom, the electronic game Dino Crisis is a spinoff of their Resident Evil series. (Capcom calls it the "survival horror genre." ) Comes complete with raptors, gunplay, etc., etc. Very hot the last 10 days. |
| |
| GetRight |
GetRight is a software utility for downloading files off the Web. A beta version of the latest edition was just released. |
| |
| Cakewalk |
Another software winner: Cakewalk helps you record and manipulate audio right on your desktop. (Check here for a download.) Cakewalk just released a new version of its Pro Audio 9 software, which apparently accounts for the rise in interest. |
| |
| Quilts |
Get this: quilts have been hugely popular with Lycos users lately. (See the new bonus list below right.) Last week the word "quilts" got more user searches than "New York" or "Madonna" or even "baseball." Can that be right? And if so, does this mean Home Ec is making a comeback? |

Oh dear. Queries are rising for
Duran
The only really familiar Durans are has-been boxer Roberto Duran and has-been supergroup Duran Duran. Surely neither is making a comeback? Or is there some other Duran we haven't heard of?
If you know the Duran scoop, please clue me in on the boards.

Recent mystery terms answered:
Two astute scribes suggested that the rush on GUNS could be traced to the back-from-the-dead appearance of Guns n' Roses. The group's first album in years is due sometime this fall. Tip o' the Lycos 50 cap to Jeff Chapman and to Jon Reeves of the IMDB.
TITANIC queries could be the result of Gloria Stuart's book tour, suggests user boards Stuart (who played the 104-year-old dame in the film) has just written an autobiography, "I Just Kept Hoping."
FROGS. Here's another take on this ongoing puzzler: reader boards writes, "Unfortunately people have been finding a lot of bizarrely deformed frogs lately." (The message also includes a link to some very odd deformed frog photos.) Could this be the cause of the rush on frogs?
Earlier, users Cole and Brigtoofar suggested that hurricane sufferers may be wondering how to handle boards. If frog searches continue next week, we'll know that's probably not it.
The BENJAMIN is a brand-new hotel in New York City, notes user boards, who also points out that (yoops!) the details can be found on our very own site.
