glinden writes "Yahoo! issued a press release today announcing their creation of Yahoo! Research Labs. Although there's not much there yet, it's clearly targeting Google and Google Labs. The battle between MSN, Yahoo, and Google in the "Year of Search" is heating up. And it's still only January."

MSN's inflated numbers by dAzED1 · 2004-01-20 03:53 · Score: 1, Offtopic

I recently read about MSN taking over from google as the top referer for web sites...and that it is one of the most hit sites on the web as well.

What irks me is that so many people leave MSN as their default IE home page. At that point laziness kicks in for many of them, and they just search from what IE brought up automatically. A vast portion of MSN's hits and refers come from this simple explanation.
