NickCarr.jpgNicholas Carr compares the 2006 top 10 search terms on Google, Yahoo and AOL and makes some entertaining mass generalizations. Google's top search terms are Bebo, MySpace, World Cup, and Metacafe. Yahoo's are Britney Spears, WWE and Shakira. AOL's are Weather, Dictionary and Dogs. Carr concludes: "I think I can suggest the following market segmentation: Google users are dweebs. Yahoo users are horndogs. And AOL users are geezers." I use Google mostly and Yahoo second. AOL not at all. So I guess that makes me a dweeby horndog.
