Web Search is Growing

By , About.com GuideFebruary 10, 2006

Follow me on:

According to ComputerWorld, use of the Internet in the United States is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds, and leading the pack is Google. More from the article:
"People in the U.S. use the Internet for more everyday research than any other medium, according to market researcher Nielsen/NetRatings, which found a 55% year-on-year surge in online searches in December. Google Inc. remained the most popular place for Americans to search cyberspace in December."
Yahoo actually saw a bit of a drop-off (.3 of a percentage), but MSN Search got the biggest loss with its share of searches dropping from 14% to 10.9%. Yikes. Well, let's take an informal poll here: Which one of these three search engines - MSN, Google, Yahoo - have you used in the past two months?
