Google announced "iPhone" was the fastest-rising search query on Google this year, followed by Webkinz, TMZ, transformer toys and YouTube.
Apple rolled out the iPhone, a device that serves as a mobile phone, a music and video player, and an Internet browser, in the United States last summer.

Four social-networking sites made the top 10, including Webkinz, which grabbed the No. 2 slot. Webkinz is a stuffed animal that customers can register and play with online.

Transformers are the wildly popular toys that shift their shapes, for example, from cars to alien robots, and they got a big boost from the 2007 hit movie Transformers.
