“Second isn’t so bad…as long as I can have first place too.” As quoted by the Google logo itself. ComScore just released the August Search Engine Rankings. ComScore reports that there were nearly 2.6 billion searches for videos on YouTube alone. This is 200 million more searches than Yahoo! produced. Of course, that is minuscule compared to the 7.6 billion searches Google served up in August. What is more interesting is the fact that we all know everyone is watching videos when they should clearly be working. With that, it is clear the banks and real estate market isn’t to blame for the recession, YouTube is the cause of this recession.
Wait, there is more…Many of you know Google owns YouTube, this equates to Google properties earning over 10 billion of our total 17 billion searches in August. The Google monopoly is controlling 60% of the internet.
You may be wondering who else is on this list. Well Microsoft is third with 1 billion searches, AOL is fourth with 839 million, then MySpace with 585 million.
I hope you enjoyed reading my first actual post.
