Google still in the top..

Google last month extended its already substantial lead in the search market, capturing a greater share of the traffic from distant second Yahoo, according to a study released today from online research firm Hitwise.

Google delivered 64.49 percent of all Internet searches made by U.S. users during the four weeks ending Oct. 27, up from 60.94 percent in the same period last year.

Yahoo, by comparison, trended down. Last October, Yahoo provided 22.34 percent of U.S. searches. This year, Yahoo's share fell slightly to 21.65 percent for the month, despite efforts to enhance and add features to its search.

Google gained almost a full percentage point just from September to October of this year, according to the survey. That increase correlates with the 0.9 percent drop in Yahoo's market share from the same period.

Microsoft also saw its market share decline. Last October, searches made through both Live.com and MSN Live accounted for 10.72 percent of the market. That figure dropped to 7.42 percent this year. Like Yahoo, Microsoft recently undertook efforts to roll out new a host of new functions to encourage greater use.

Ask.com proved the only gainer among Google's rivals. During October, Ask.com accounted for 4.76 percent of all U.S. searches, representing a modest gain of less than one-half a percentage point in overall market share, the survey found.

Download of the week..

From this very moment, every week there is gonna be a special post i.e download of the week. And the download of this week is NeoTrace . NeoTrace shows you how packets get from your computer to another computer on the Internet by displaying all nodes between your computer and the trace target. Its a cool tool in which you can see the various routers and servers from where all you get the packets. It also lists you the address of the domain owners (administrators). you can also do it using the telnet applications, but the visual representation in this software is really damn good.

To Download : NeoTrace

Fedora 8 is released..

Fedora 8 is the latest release from the Fedora project and it is just packed with a slew of exciting new features. Some of the more notable features are Pulse Audio (new Linux Sound System), Codec Buddy, Online-Desktop, Compiz and Gnome 2.20. Fedora 8 also offers a new theme (unique to Fedora) and more visual treats for the desktop user. After using Fedora 7, I was really addicted to that especially a game called 4 in a row. It comes default with all linux systems. So this is the best of all the linux, Comparing to all those Windows, You come to know the process here.

The most disappointing facts about all the linux is that it doesnt have the drivers. Mostly when you are using a Graphic Card you will find out that its a big deal for installing the drivers and letting it performed in a full fledged way.

Google vs Payperpost

It seems very much from the activities of the last week that Google and Payperpost are in a very big battle. Google has continuously been updating the page rank algorithm. Ultimately many bloggers lose their pagerank from 6 to 0 in a week.The reason for this is the paid content. Bloggers are being paid for sponsored reviews which landed up in this mess. Luckily, I dont know how i escaped from this. I have a page rank of 2. One of my barcamp mate from bangalore said me that he called up Google and asked them to return his page rank and after this the Google employees said him to remove all the paid content, after doing this they gave him is page rank back. But I am not able to believe this guy. Its really difficult to talk to Google employees. Lets hope that Google returns the pagerank back to the bloggers who are the victims.

The barcamp is over..

At last the bar camp got over, it was very cool. The IIMB campus was good. It had many collectives, though some were disgusting many were very useful like FLEX and GPS related, Amith Agarwal made his presence there. He is one of the famous Indian bloggers who earns 1000$ through adsense only. Collectives such as SEO( search engine optimisation ) provided to be useless.Due to the CAT and Anna University exams many couldn't turn up. Summing up, Bar camp was very useful.

Gmail to get its updates soon..

I was checking my mail today as usual, but i found something interesting. Its the , So i i quickly stumbled through the Gmail's Official blog.

Google has said it is starting to upgrade the underlying application code of its Gmail service to prepare for adding additional functionality never envisaged when it was first launched in 2004.

Gmail engineer Dan Pupius made reference to the roll out of the upgrade in a company blog. "In the past three and a half years we have launched a number of cool features," he said.

Pupius said the they are making updates so that the speed will be increased, "profiling all parts of the application, shaving milliseconds off wherever we can and figuring out workarounds for some pretty deep-rooted issues with the current browser implementations."
