    If most of users use google, why yahoo has alexa rank 1 and google has alexa rank 3 ? :) (msn dot com is on 2nd place, but wont be so long anymore, will drop on 3rd soon)

    The small-time webmaster will be severely hit. The bigger businesses wont be affected much as they don't put all their eggs in one basket.

    Funny this is Google filled the void that Yahoo created when it went from a search engine to an information portal! But you're right, Yahoo is the next best thing so we'll all probably just switch to Yahoo. I'm sure Yahoo won't make the same mistake twice.

    Just more evidence that Alexa ranking is pure BS. :D

    I don't....I think steve ballmer has lost his marbles :D

    how many web hits do most people get via google as opposed to MSN? Like 20:1? MSN has a long way to go if that is their goal.

    Nothing lasts forever, however if Google can continue to keep up / ahead of the trends then it stands a chance.

    What an utterly pointless thread though....

    true that... i don't think basing your business on google alone is a good idea.

    don't put your eggs in one basket :)
