Back in May, Hitwise published some figures: <a href="http://weblogs.hitwise.com/bill-tancer/2006/05/google_yahoo_and_msn_property.html" rel="nofollow">http://weblogs.hitwise.com/bill-tancer/2006/05/google_yahoo_and_msn_property.html</a> that said Google Maps had 7.5% market share. That was also around the time that the "Google can succeed in search, but doesn't do as well in other areas" meme started. Maybe this is another AJAX issue? Does anyone have access to recent Hitwise market share estimates for mapping sites? I'd be curious to see how they compare with Nielsen/NetRatings.
