Expect the unexpected
Everyone thinks
Google (
www.google.com) is the no. 1 site on the Web, but the surprise, surprise of Web rankings is that
Yahoo! (
www.yahoo.com) is. Yahoo! has really lifted its game, and it offers a lot of good destinations, not least its comparison shopping sites which take the legwork out of consuming.
MSN (
www.msn.com) is no. 2, and Google a mere third.
Alexa (
www.alexa.com) has rankings. What else is in the top ten?
eBay (
www.ebay.com) is for starters.
Amazon (
www.amazon.com) is only 11.
Blogger (
www.blogger.com) is no. 30, but
mySpace (
www.myspace.com) is 14, way ahead of
CNN (
cnn.com) and the
BBC (
news.bbc.co.uk). People obviously value personal news and contacts over hard news. See Alexa's long, long list of who's where at
