March 27, 2008
Recent research from Hitwise UK shows that searches for 'tibet' quadrupled this week, as talks about the possibility of boycotting the Beijing Olympics continued. One in three searchers for 'tibet' visited Wikipedia, followed by Google News and a Free Tibet campaign website. Searches for 'dalai lama' also increased significantly last week. Interest is mostly driven by his visit to the UK in May, with searches focused on his teaching engagements in London and Nottingham.
