Go Google, Go Google

Recent metrics from the search world show that Google continues to lead the pack in the search space. In February they processed 42.3% of all search queries on the net. Yahoo came in a distant second with 27.6% share. In the past these two search giants had only been separated by as little as 5%. Google's rapid product development and new community building techniques are paying off. (GMail is a huge hit)

It will be interesting to see how this arena continues to evolve. Ask.com formerly Ask Jeeves moved up less than 1% and is holding in fifth place. They are trying to add more value to the search results but don't seem to be getting the traction need to vault forward.

Makes you remember the days when AltaVista was your default search engine stop, maybe it's the name that makes the engine? It doesn't sound nearly as cool to say "let me altavista that" versus "let me Google that" The search wars will continue and hopefully we the consumers will benefit from the fight.
