MSN a joke?

[Nomar]

Anyone uses MSN Search??

It also crawls the web very different than Google and Yahoo..

maybe they can better quit...

what do you think?

[pixelpruner]

My mate uses it. I have no idea why. I do think we put too much emphasis on Google as web developers though. Don't they handle less that 50% of global search? Maybe someone can provide a pie chart.

[Nomar]

True, I am sure in the other search engines are lots of opportunities left..

I think google controls close to 50% and in some tv channel it was 52% . . . which is pretty much possible...yahoo comes a distant third in about 20-25% and the live went down to 8-6% and the rest from the others...I dnt know how true this is, but this is what the charts in some tv news channel gave away...

Google have such a big share, and so many people focus exclusively on it they have pretty much ultimate power. A snap of their fingers and your company could potentially die.

[pixelpruner]

Oh... you actually provided a pie chart! lol I'm quite surprised, I thought Google was about 40%, Yahoo about 30% and the rest shared among the others. Shows how much I know! And thanks crimsonc!

Google is all the way to be. I don't think Live stands a chance. And with their banning link command too on which provided good info on backlinks is seriously a big blunder.

[Nomar]

Maybe google gets beaten some time, but it would be because everybody uses google to much and they want to type in something different that google in their browsers

I reaaly dont like msn or yahoo at all because they do not crawl my site regularly like google.Also i`ve so many pages indexed by google but not in yahoo or msn.
