Stacey Abrams captured the imaginations of millions by coming this close to winning the Georgia gubernatorial race, a feat which doubtless helped her to become the “Most Googled Politician of 2018.” But for some reason, Newsweek chose to make incoming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) the star of their article on Abrams’ accomplishment. The headline reads “STACEY ABRAMS, NOT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ, WAS MOST GOOGLED POLITICIAN IN THE U.S. IN 2018,” and apart from a single mention in the setup for the article, Abrams is completely absent from it. Even the photo for the Stacey Abrams article is of AOC. The balance of the piece is almost entirely devoted to Ocasio-Cortez, who defeated Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. That’s quite an accomplishment, but an odd one to devote most of an article about the most-searched for politicians to, especially given the fact that AOC didn’t even … [Read more...] about Newsweek Turns Stacey Abrams’ Most-Googled Crown Into an Article About Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Google will spend more than $1 billion on a huge new campus in New York
Google has joined Amazon in its push to grow its operations outside of Silicon Valley. The Alphabet-owned firm announced on Monday that it will spend $1bn (£792m) on expanding its presence in New York with the construction of a new, 1.7m square foot campus for its employees in lower Manhattan. Ruth Porat, Google’s chief financial officer, wrote in a blog post on Monday that the company’s new Google Hudson Square campus will be opened in 2020. Google plans to double the number of its employees in New York to around 14,000 over the next 10 years, Porat wrote on Monday. The Manhattan campus will comprise two buildings on Hudson Street and a third on Washington Street. Google has also spent $2.4bn in purchasing the Manhattan Chelsea Market shopping centre and office building earlier this year, and pledged to keep the building’s food hall in operation. “We’re growing faster outside the Bay Area than within it,” Mrs Porat wrote, “and this … [Read more...] about Google will spend more than $1 billion on a huge new campus in New York

Sylvester Stallone Was The Most Googled Actor Of 2018
7 minutes ago Yo, Adrian, he did it! The most Google-searched actor of 2018 was 72-year-old Sylvester Stallone. Would you have guessed him? I probably wouldn't have guessed most of the people who made the top 10. Google Trends recently shared the data on its own year, including topics like actors, people, TV shows, athletes, etc. Technically there are still a couple of weeks left to 2018 at this point, but the figures are already in. Globally, here are the top 10 trending actors (including actresses): What a crazy lineup! Not all of the stars were trending for positive reasons -- as you can see from Logan Paul, Bill Cosby, Roseanne Barr, and Allison Mack, who all made headlines for serious controversies. You could maybe add Pete Davidson onto that list, too, since his 2018 was dominated by his relationship with Ariana Grande and Saturday Night Live insults. Oscar winner Gary Oldman was also trending for good and bad reasons. (No. 9 is Indian dancer/performer Sapna … [Read more...] about Sylvester Stallone Was The Most Googled Actor Of 2018
