YouTube Passes Yahoo As #2 Search Engine
Dekortage writes "According to the latest ComScore rankings, YouTube's search traffic for August surpassed Yahoo's. The latter dropped roughly 5% in traffic from July. Among other things, this means that Google now owns both of the top two search engines. AdAge further speculates on Google's experimental 'promoted videos' cost-per-click advertising on YouTube, suggesting the obvious: more money."
I'm inclined to doubt this. Youtube doesn't host any porn. That's easily 70% of the internet right there.
You mean to tell me that people are now more interested in videos of people getting hit in the nuts and TV clips that are not SNL or daily show than they are in sex? LIES!
I actually search for all of my Web needs on YouTube first. I find that it really reduces the number of Wikipedia links I have to surf past ;-)
Wait, are you saying that youtube is going to start making their own brand of computers called "Oranges" to compete with macs!?!?
But is YouTube in competition with Yahoo? This is apples and oranges.
I say that comparing the comparison of yahoo with youtube to that of apples and oranges is comparing apples with oranges!

I wish I had something useful to say.
No, because France Telecom might object.
Informative? Even the modding is funny!
Google is also a website with a search facility.
