Social Networks, Bigger than Search?
June 18, 2010
Short honk: Surf to “Social Networks More popular than Search Engines.” Note the tiny little red line that crosses the tiny little blue line. No real data to back up the itty bitty intersection with the tiny red poke upwards. But, if the graph is accurate, maybe search has been eclipsed by social networks. Here’s the passage I found interesting:
More people visited social-networking sites than used search engines in May, according to web-analysis firm Hitwise. It is the first time that social networking has been more popular than web search, according to the company.
Probably a fluke. Oh, Bank of America downgraded the Google on June 8, 2010. Probably one of those coincidences.
