YouTube pips Yahoo for Second Spot in Search Queries
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
If you thought, Yahoo was the second most popular search engine on the Web [w.r.t search queries] then you are wrong about it. According to latest data released by comScore, its YouTube. Yes!!! That Video Site has beaten the Yahoo network for getting the second largest number of search queries.According to comScore, in August-08, YouTube received 2.564 bn search queries while Yahoo network got 2.427 bn. Google stand alone received 7.59 bn search queries. As usual, the Redmond Giant Microsoft was the biggest loser and struggled to stay over a billion queries - 1.02 bn.
Now I am beginning to wonder what will be the fate of Video sharing sites in India that copied the business model of YouTube :-)
