This is some info I find quite interesting... In general different people use different search engines. Google- People using google are just looking for simplicity. Yahoo- These people are more entertainment oreiented. These people are interested in celebrities, new, movies and music. MSN- A more refinded user. These people tend to be a little more advanced on the internet and with their searches for information. I don't really know how this would help you, but It is interesting and this may spark a great idea. Matthew
This one is actually a little surprising to me. I would think MSN would have more inexperienced users who search there because IE is the browser that was installed on their computer when they bought it and they don't know that they can change the homepage. Interesting!
MSN is definitely the search engine for inexperienced users. I would say same goes for live. (the only way you would use live is if you bought windows vista. and its generaly agreed that people who buy windows vista are... just kidding )
Wow, I read that and I was thinking of my sister, I always argue over which search engine she uses, (she is very interested in celebs, entertainment things), and she uses yahoo... That made me crack up And I do know a lot of people that use yahoo for more of entertainment... The google things seems almost right, but the MSN theory took me for a ride, I don't think so... Msn is for people that are beginners (unexperienced) at the internet, because (I think) it pops up when you load windows messenger, and internet explorer.
Is this based on any research? I don't think people think about what their needs are and then choose a search engine. I think a lot of people use google because it's the only search engine they hear about.
