What can search data tell you about people? How can you use search data to project the commercial success of movies, video games, and other products? These are just a few of the challenges from the microeconomics and social systems area of the 2010 Key Scientific Challenges Program that we announced on Jan. 27 this year.

The Key Scientific Challenges program is a competition that encourages top graduate students globally to collaborate with Yahoo! and help invent the future of the Internet. The competition focuses on a variety of scientific issues, from developing algorithms that turn raw information into personally relevant experiences, to discovering insights about online advertising and experimenting with new sociological models for how people engage with the Web.

It’s the time of the year to look back on the past 12 months and reflect on events of the year. Here at Yahoo!, we’ve been analyzing billions of queries to find ways to look at the events of this year through the lens of search.

Today, the Yahoo! Year in Review returns with a brand new look at what’s happened this year.

We’ve expanded the list to take a look at important moments in 2009. Some somber moments this year are captured with our analysis of “Financial Hangovers” and “Market Darlings,” reminders of the tough economic times we are facing. We walked through the historic moments of President Barack Obama’s journey to the White House in a section we call “Obama in the House.”

It has also been a year full of the unexpected. Remember the amazing transformation of Susan Boyle? Or the media circus around Falcon Heene, otherwise known as “Balloon Boy”? We’ve included them and other surprising celebrities in “Sudden Fame.”

You can read more about how we created the Yahoo! Year in Review at the Yodel Anecdotal blog. If you’ve got your own key moments of 2009 to contribute, you can tweet them here at http://yearinreview.yahoo.com/2009/moments.
