The Irony and The Agony/Ecstasy
Posted on June 12, 2007
I pulled the numbers below from MediaPost today as I though that they were highly ironic. The impact of Google Universal Search has resulted in a slight decrease in what their core site used to be, and a tremendous increase in a company they just acquired. The largest shift further positions Google as the place to go for directions, maps and local information.
I guess Google really is on their way to organizing the worlds information!
