The Economist article was interesting, especially the mention of a possible strategy for Google to become more transparent. I know a lot of us would like to see more transparency where Google is concerned.

Well, I stick to Yahoo for my actually searching, but check Google for my rankings of sites – go figure, huh?

Oh, and watch for the Pope announcing that Google is officially evil in the eyes of the Church.

Well, if you’d bother to click through on the links, you’d see that:

“Google Search led with a retention rate of 79 percent, followed by Yahoo! Search at 69 percent and MSN/Windows Live Search with 65 percent. . .

“Notably though, a substantial portion of visitors went to more than one of these three search sites in July. MSN/Windows Live Search had the highest audience overlap, with 84 percent of its unique visitors also going to Google Search, Yahoo! Search, or both. Yahoo! Search had a 78 percent audience overlap with Google and/or MSN, while Google Search had a 63 percent audience overlap with one or both of its two primary competitors.”

“Lots of people use Google: but lots use more than one search engine”

“lots” is a bit vague. I suspect it’s a very small percentage compared to those that use just one (and just Google, at that!)
