The resolutions ranged from getting out of debt to becoming more philanthropic in the upcoming year, and spending more time with family to spending less time on the Internet. Overall, users' New Year's Resolution searches show a trend towards bettering themselves and the lives of their loved ones.
Improving Your Noodle
While people were definitely interested in losing weight and exercising more, users were planning to do things to enhance their brainpower or skills, and some of the top New Year's Resolution searches included reading more, becoming more productive and, for all you 'net junkies, spending less than one hour a day on the Internet. In light of the recent hurricanes and the tsunami in Asia, users were also resolved to be more prepared for natural disasters.
