This week with all that’s going on, the Infolinks Trend Center brings you three different categories to quench your thirst for keywords. The most obvious event this week is the Olympics, though there have been other national news headlines taking over the internet. These include the landing of Curiosity on Mars and an unfortunate tragic event near Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Olympics Continue to Trend
There’s no doubt about it, the Olympics have taken over the internet in ways it never has before. This is the summer blockbuster of social media. It seems that as the winners rise above the competition, they become the perfect match for advertisements. Usain Bolt hasn’t disappointed, Michael Phelps now has 20 medals overall, and Serena Williams beat Maria Sharipova for the gold. Infographics have been popping up with stats on anything and everything Olympics. Check out our Pinterest page to see a few.

NASA lands on Mars 
August 6th marked the day that NASA landed on Mars as their rover duly named Curiosity, concluded a 154 million mile voyage. Curiosity, a wandering laboratory sent off by NASA, was the first to land on Mars, making history for America. One of the first pictures taken on Mars (seen above) went viral and can be seen all over the internet. Despite the craft landing as late as it did, 1:30 am Eastern Standard Time, “landing parties” were held all over New York City, and even the world. This is another giant leap for mankind.

Shooting at Sikh Temple
America has become victim to another tragic shooting. This unfortunate event comes shortly after the recent shooting in Colorado, at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin on August 6, during prayer time. This tragedy has sparked debate on hate crimes and even hate music as the gunman was a founding member of a band called “End Apathy.”
