Now for the interesting part - I decided to break it down into 5 day segments.

My thoughts as I look at the data?
- Google’s usage drops markedly when people are not at work
- MSN / MSN live is growing steadily
- ASK & AOL dropped - I’m surprised Ask dropped at all
- A heck of a lot of people shop online at the last minute - look at Froogle’s blip
- and of course… people still use Altavista!
We’ve noticed before that there is a drop in Google’s usage vis-a-vis certain Holidays. This one was not as marked as one other in particular I can remember. It will be interesting to monitor the trend during year as the holiday’s occur.
Next month, in honor of SES London, I’ll try and post some UK numbers.
I look forward to your comments. I suspect that breaking down the month in 5 day segments is too much for many people - hopefully it’s interesting for some.
