Following on from an episode tinged with tragedy, this week lifted the mood with something lighter.
People in China are driving the search trends on Google on the morning of October 7 with "dnf1100" rising to the top of the trending topics on Google Insights.
People in China are searching for the website, www.dnf1100.net - a site that links to plug-ins and downloads for the video game published by Nexon (the company is known for their release of the popular Maple Story video game), Dungeon Fighter.
Dungeon Fighter is a Korean-made "beat 'em up"-style MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game).
Another search term popular with Chinese Google Search users this week is the "National Day military parade" ("????" in Chinese). The military parade was held on October 1 to mark the 60th foundation anniversary of the communist People's Republic.
During the parade China unveiled its latest technology with military equipment ranging from nuclear missiles to fighter jets. Up to 90 percent of the Chinese-made equipment was on show for the first time keeping its nation - and the rest of the world - abreast of the latest military trends to emmerge from the country.
