According to comScore’s latest figures, Google commanded 61.5 percent of the US search market, while Yahoo owned 20.9 percent and Microsoft trailed with 9.2 percent. Both Ask.com and AOL follow far behind the big three. Interesting opinion piece from Don Reisinger of Ars Technica but I believe he misses the point: the world of search is changing; how many of you out there use wikipedia as much as Google? I suspect the split is 50/50. Wikipedia search results are more useful than Google search results for certain searches and subject matters. Can’t believe that Don Reisinger left Wikipedia out of his op piece! That said: future search engines will succeed by doing exactly what Google has done: being relevant, simple, clean and easy to use.
These are the early days of search. Google dominance today, sure; tomorrow: not so sure.
