From natural disasters to personal health, from finding employment to seeking high art, the Movers list for May illustrates the disparate elements that drive our interests as human beings. While some month’s Movers Lists follow cyclical trends, such as florist sites in February or tax sites in April, this month seemed to feature a well-rounded and diverse set of subjects that give us insight into our quest to fulfill our Hierarchy of Needs as defined by Abraham Maslow in 1943.

The traffic to Kansas.com and healthcare.com echoed our Physiological Needs. Job seekers checking out simplyhired.com were tending to their Safety Needs. The completely non-materialistic women checking out wealthymen.com wanted to satisfy their Love/Belonging/Social Needs, I guess. And on it goes.

But does this evidence of people seeking and finding the path to self-actualization improve my outlook on the human condition? Sadly, no. When sites offering glittery graphics for your MySpace page no longer make the list, then, and only then, will I think we’ve got a chance.
