The fastest rising search query (keyword) of 2010 was “chatroulette”, a little bit ahead of “ipad”. The third place goes to “Justin Bieber”, based on “Google Zeitgeist 2010: How the world searched” released by Google™.

Ask your friends, most of them never heard about chat roulette. Chatroulette is the new “big thing” on the web and despite of the billions of searches the majority of people have no idea what it is. This means the chat roulette phenomenon is just about to start. Ding! Billions of people are searching for chatroulette!

Take your share of this starting market, start your own chat roulette website! Take care of the users and market it, we will back you up with the 100% editable and highest customer rated chat roulette alternative: http://www.chatroulette-clone.com

Google edits those search results out for this context. Wouldn't want people to find out who's ruling the land now would we?
