Why are you so impressed? There is no information provided on the demographics behind StatCounter's data, but I assure you they are NOT tracking traffic for any of MY sites. Who even uses StatCounter? This is a nonsense metric. Why are you so impressed?

I agree that Google's lead is impressive, but as you know, the online user base is fickle. Web search based on keywords with link rank based on inbounds isn't as useful on the world of local as social search like reviews and ratings. Plus, apps are more useful on mobile devices than browser-based web search. So I wouldn't say Goolge's the clear winner int he future of local search.
