Wikipedia Enters Top Ten Most Visited Sites
Impressive. Scanning the latest top web sites rankings from comScore for January 2007 , Wikipedia sites are highlighted for just entering the top ten most visited. OK, technically — they’re in the top ten for having the most unique visitors. In December 2006, Wikipedia sites were ranked 13th of all US web properties, with 39 […]

The carriers, the handset makers and the mobile content providers are in what amounts to a frenzy of competition and business development as they try and position themselves for what they see as the next really big […]

comScore: Google Wins Again & IE7 Doesn’t Stop Microsoft’s Slide
It’s that time again — search popular stats for last month are coming out. Actually, Hitwise sent me their figures earlier this month but I’m diving in with the comScore figures that just came out. The main real news is despite the Internet Explorer 7 launch, Microsoft’s Live continues to show a drop in usage.
Looking At Microsoft’s Continued Long Game In Search
Hooked on Google from the San Jose Mercury News revisits a theme from Microsoft that I’ve reported to readers over the years. That’s how Microsoft’s failure to beat Google in search — despite millions in spending — gets the "it’s early days, give us time" defense from Microsoft. The defense is partially true, but it […]

Google almost always comes out much, much higher when you look at site traffic referral sources (as with Enquisite’s stats). I did get […]

MySpace Passes Yahoo In Page Views But Not Audience
I’ve been waiting for comScore to publicly post figures on November 2006 traffic before pointing to the news of MySpace topping Yahoo in terms of page views. But everyone’s getting into it, so I’ll pass it along now as well.
