Search Gainers:
The Academy Awards(R) aired Sunday, Feb. 24 pushing “Juno” to its first-ever appearance on the Lycos 50, landing at number 10 this week. The quirky “Juno” missed the Oscar(R) for best picture but was a big winner online, rising 475 percent in search activity. And baseball (#38) swings into action, re-entering this week’s list, climbing 68 percent, due in part to the official start of spring training games this week, and on-going news surrounding the steroids scandal. Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera see searches spike, up 70 percent and 60 percent respectively, hot on the heals of new baby news. Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, recently celebrated the arrival of a baby boy and baby girl, whose names have yet to be revealed, while Aguilera continues to see a rise in search interest following the first photos of baby Max, which hit newsstands last week.
