What is the Tonbridge Zeitgeist?...

As we approach Christmas news days, as they say in the business, tend to get slower and slower. The papers start writing "news" stories about what has been in the news during the last year and what the most popular trends on the internet have been. If you will they try to determine what is the Zeitgeist or the Spirit of the Age. It seems that, perhaps unsurprisingly, Facebook, ebay and YouTube are among the top searches according to Google. Top people searches include Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Emma Watson. Subjects high on the list were things like What is AV? (I still haven't a clue!) and high on the shopping list were Asda (really?) and travel Las Vegas. What do they tell us about the Zeitgeist then? Well search me! So what were the top subjects looked at on Tonbridge Blog during the year? The post about Tonbridge Has Talent back in February scored high on page views presumably among people who wanted to see the videos; the SIBA beer festival report seemed popular; as did Retro 66 Barbers Turning Blue for some odd reason and One Man's View of Tonbridge. But by far and away the highest number of page views, 22.117 to be precise, was for the the shortest piece I think Tonbridge Blog has ever posted about allegations against the local catholic priest. So I'm not quite sure what that all says about capturing the Tonbridge Zeitgeist. Singing, dancing, vanity, moaning, guilt and religion. Yep that just about sums us up!...
