How did we allow Google to gobble up 3/4 of the search market? - GoFuckYourself.com

6 times the traffic of Yahoo.

Yahoo and MSN executives should all be castrated for letting this happen. Assholes.

Now we have to put up with a virtually monopolistic situation.

Scootermuze · 12-13-2007, 05:12 PM

Probably due to initial word of mouth.. Like ICQ.. which became the standard.. and still is for the most part...

Then those crazy college boys did all the right things apparently...

PornMogul · 12-13-2007, 05:46 PM

I only use google because its the best. Yahoo is going DOWN

scottybuzz · 12-13-2007, 05:49 PM

because they provide the user with what they want better than anyone else.

Xrated J · 12-13-2007, 05:50 PM

i always thought google was better than yahoo

Socks · 12-13-2007, 05:50 PM

it's just so easy to type...

needlive · 12-13-2007, 05:50 PM

Google is pretty nice, yep.

After Shock Media · 12-13-2007, 05:53 PM

We, say what?

PS it is far from a monopoly. Maybe want to research that phrase a tiny bit.

uno · 12-13-2007, 05:54 PM

I would say oligopoly, do you agree?

VicD · 12-13-2007, 05:57 PM

by using Google...

CunningStunt · 12-13-2007, 06:15 PM

It's monopolistic, not a monopoly. Geez, the pedants in here who want to split hairs over the slightest thing. I have a degree in economics and some board image spammer is trying to correct me. LMFAO.

Actually it was a combination of Gates lack of vision in the internet/search game early on, and Yahoo getting too comfortable once they became more of a portal and bloated with corporate partnerships.

By the time they woke the fuck up. Google was in place, and rolling.

Evil E · 12-13-2007, 07:53 PM

Accurate Search Results.. that's the only reason why I used and still use google.

D · 12-13-2007, 07:58 PM

Google provides the best service.

D Ghost · 12-13-2007, 07:59 PM

They provide a user experience far better than any other engine.

Google basically came out of the gate after Yahoo. They simplified search, provided better results, then built it back up again by reinventing what it means to search - aka "Google It."

What I find fascinating is their ability to reach the level they're at without advertising. Where Yahoo and MSN spent shitloads of money on television campaigns, etc.

Also... you may be interested to know

Even though Google is the market leader in terms of overall search volume, for many specific queries, Yahoo and MSN hold a greater market share.

IllTestYourGirls · 12-13-2007, 08:17 PM

they targeted the webmasters and not the web surfer. thats my two cents

AmeliaG · 12-13-2007, 08:23 PM

I used to feel like Google gave the best user experience, but they are pretty useless for finding almost anything these days. MSN Live seems to be more accurate so far but has fewer results. None of Google's total gibberish results though.
