Google Stat: On Target or Just Wrong
March 18, 2009
Google bashing is a popular sport. A new March madness? Navigate here and read “One Stop Cop Shop”. The headline baffled me, but I found this paragraph from the Guardian (UK) Web site surprising:
But figures just released by netmarketshare.com show that Google now has 97.5% of global mobile search. The time has come to ask what the long-term implications of this are. Any investigation would have to be done by an international body whether the OECD, the World Trade Organisation or a coalition of regulators. But it would be in everyone’s interest, not least Google’s, to have a serious look at the implications of all this before it is too late.
Two points: quite a market share for Googzilla. And more legal agitation ahead for the kids in Mountain View.
