War ends Dixie Chicks' reign

As traffic to online news sites continues to soar, war has overtaken sex and Britney in the search engine popularity stakes.

"War was our top search term today, taking over from perennial favourites sex, Britney and travel," Nadia Schofield, a spokesperson from Freeserve, told Reuters.

'Iraq' also deposed the country music group 'Dixie Chicks' from first place in Yahoo's Buzz Index of popular US search terms.

In the UK, Guardian Unlimited's traffic levels soared by 30 per cent yesterday, as news of the first attacks on Iraq broke. The BBC also reported a surge of 30 to 40 per cent in traffic to its news website.
