Google, Microsoft Boost Search Share; Yahoo Declines + Both Facebook & Twitter Share Continue to Grow

From the Bloomberg Article:

Google and Microsoft boosted their share of the U.S. Internet search market in September, while Yahoo lost ground, according to research firm ComScore Inc.

Google’s share increased to 64.9 percent from 64.6 percent in August, Reston, Virginia-based ComScore said yesterday. Microsoft rose to 9.4 percent from 9.3 percent, while Yahoo dropped to 18.8 percent from 19.3 percent, ComScore said.

What about Twitter and Facebook? What's most interesting are these numbers vs. last year.

Facebook Inc., the No. 1 social-networking site, had 95.5 million U.S. users during September, up 3.6 percent from the previous month, according to ComScore. The number more than doubled from a year earlier.

Twitter Inc., the No. 3 social-networking site in the U.S., had little growth in September from the previous month, with 20.9 million users. Compared with a year earlier, though, its users have swelled 18-fold.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
