Search engine use explodes in December
Google remains the market giant but Microsoft Bing, China's Baidu make year-end gains
People were doing a whole lot more online searching last month, and they were still largely using the Google engine to do it.
A comScore, Inc. study released late last week showed that 46% more online searches were made worldwide last month than in December, 2008. In all, the Web tracking firm said, people 15 and older conducted 131 billion searches just in December, or an average of 4 billion searches a day, 175 million per hour, and 29 million per minute.
"The global search market continues to grow at an extraordinary rate, with both highly developed and emerging markets contributing to the strong growth worldwide," said Jack Flanagan, comScore executive vice president, in a statement. "Search is clearly becoming a more ubiquitous behavior among Internet users that drives navigation not only directly from search engines but also within sites and across networks."
ComScore also noted that the online users in the United States conduct more searches than people anywhere else in the world. Americans accounted for 22.7 billion searches, or approximately 17% of all worldwide searches, last month.
"Forty-six percent year-to-year growth in search is certainly a big number, but not a shockingly big number," said Dan Olds, an analyst with Gabriel Consulting Group. "We know that search is the most heavily used Web mechanism and, with people conducting more and more of their personal business on the Web, it's natural that Web search is growing at a high rate. Factor in the search growth in countries where consumers are just now getting wide access to both computing and broadband, and it's easier to see how search grew at a nearly 50% clip from 2008 to 2009."
Search giant Google lived up to its reputation in 2009, accounting for 66.8%, or 87.8 billion, of all searches last month, according to comScore. Of the 131 billion searches conducted last month, 87.8 billion of them were done on Google's site. The Web tracker also noted that Google sites achieved a 58% increase in search query volume over the past year.
Yahoo came in second with 9.4 billion searches, which was an increase of 13%. Chinese search engine Baidu accounted for 8.5 billion searches, up 7% over the year-earlier period.
Microsoft's Bing, though, showed great gains. According to comScore, eight-month-old Bing was used for 4.1 billion searches, or 70% more than its predecessor LiveSearch was used for last December.
"Microsoft's Bing grew at a 70% rate, but that's from a pretty small base," said Olds. "According to the research, Microsoft search sites are creeping up on Google, but are still far behind in total use. Yahoo fares better, but had a lower growth rate. Of course, coupling Yahoo's larger user base with the Microsoft search growth rate in order to take on Google is the goal of the Yahoo/MS partnership."
Yandex, a Russian search engine, showed the largest gains in the markets, growing by 91% to 1.9 billion searches.

Fake Google search engine emerges in China
A new search engine called Goojje highlights why Google may leave China.
January 28, 2010, 01:26 PM —
In addition to a name that sounds like Google, the Goojje search engine copies Google's logo. See for yourself: goojje.com
Although Goojje appears to be trying to cash in on Google's branding, a closer look shows that it may in fact be something of a tribute to Google. Goojje sounds like the Chinese word for "big sister." A message on the Goojje site reads "Sister was very happy when brother gave up the thought of leaving and stayed for sister." The site was reportedly created by a female college student in China.
The site may want Google to stay, but its very existence shows why Google may want to go. The second sentence of Google's now-famous blog post says it all: "we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google."
The press, pundits and public appear to believe that Google's troubles with China stem primarily from censorship or hacking. The truth is that Google is mainly concerned with the theft of intellectual property. When you're a search engine, intellectual property is the whole product.
The Goojje search engine copies the easy stuff -- the logo and name. Google's real concern is more likely the theft of its proprietary algorithms, source code and other secrets.
As the blogger formerly known as the Fake Steve Jobs pointed out in a recent missive, "How can you do business in China if everyone you hire is going to steal from you?" He's referring to reports that spies within Google's China staff provided help or information to the hackers.
Google denies that employees were involved in the hacking they reported. But the larger issue is that a pervasive culture of aggressive, insidious intellectual property theft exists in China, aided and abetted by the government.
The Goojje site is pretty harmless. All can see the logo and branding were copied or "inspired" by Google's. The real risk is when Baidu or some other search engines in China end up using stolen code from Google to compete against Google in the marketplace, and when the government of China uses stolen information and illegal access to crack down on critics of the Chinese government and suppress human rights.
Forget about big sister. It's Big Brother we should all be concerned about.
Tiruan Google dan YouTube Muncul di China
JAKARTA-MI: Situs tiruan Google dan YouTube telah muncul di China. Kemunculan keduanya bertepatan setelah Google yang asli mengancam angkat kaki dari China terkait pembatasan sensor pemerintah China dan serangan cyber yang dialaminya di negara Tirai Bambu tersebut.
Sama seperti situs aslinya yang sudah diblok China, Youtubecn.com juga menyediakan berbagai macam video bagi para pengaksesnya. Pembuatnya, Li Senhe menyampaikan kepada The Christian Science Monitor bahwa dirinya membuat situs tersebut sebagai layanan masyarakat.
Maka wajar saja jika video-video kerusuhan sosial di China dapat ditemukan di situs buatannya itu. Padahal tahun 2008 lalu, YouTube yang asli sudah diblok di China setelah berbagai video kerusuhan Tibet muncul di sana.
Sementara, tiruan situs pencari terbesar di dunia, Goojje, mencoba mengkombinasikan kemampuan situs aslinya dengan kombinasi situs pencari terbesar China, Baidu. Namun menurut salah satu pembuatnya, Xiao Xuan, Goojje sebenarnya bukan mesin pencari, melainkan tempat untuk mencari teman.
Xuan juga mengatakan bahwa situs yang dibuatnya tersebut tidak memiliki materi sensitif seperti yang dimiliki YouTubecn. "Ini bersih sesuai standar sensor China," ungkapnya.
Kedua proyek terpisah itu muncul sehari setelah Google mengancam untuk angkat kaki dari China, pertengahan Januari lalu. Namun Direktur Berkeley China Internet Project dari University California-Berkeley, Xiao Qiang, mengatakan bahwa keduanya tidak bakal bertahan lama mengingat adanya isu pelanggaran kekayaan intelektual yang dimiliki perusahaan aslinya. "Ini akan menjadi isu terkait kekayaan intelektual Google, juga lembaga sensor Cina," katanya.
Sampai saat ini, pemerintah China belum mengambil tindakan tegas kepada kedua situs tiruan tersebut. National Copyright Administration China selama ini telah menindak berbagai situs ilegal. Namun mereka juga belum memberikan pernyataan terkait dengan adanya Google dan YouTube gadungan tersebut.
Pihak Google sendiri belum berkomentar banyak. "Komentar yang saya dapat berikan sekarang adalah cuma mengkonfirmasi bahwa kami tidak berafiliasi," kata juru bicara Google, Jessica Powell.
China memang terkenal dengan produk-produk tiruannya. Namun kali ini mereka berhasil membuat tiruan situs terkenal.
Beberapa warga China menanggapi secara positif tiruan YouTube tersebut. "Saya tidak tahu ini akan bertahan lama atau tidak," kata seorang blogger China yang menolak sensor dari pemerintahnya, Jia Zhengjing. (*/AP/OL-7))
Facebook Bentuk Dewan Penangkal Predator Seks
Lima lembaga yang setuju bergabung dengan dewan itu adalah Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely, WiredSafety, Childnet International dan The Family Online Safety Institute. Tugas mereka antara lain mencari cara ampuh untuk meminimalisir ruang gerak para penjahat seks di Facebook.
Facebook menyatakan, mereka akan bertemu secara rutin dengan para anggota dewan. Pertemuan akan me-review perangkat keamanan yang sudah ada di Facebook, mengembangkan materi baru dan mencari usul untuk praktik keamanan yang lebih baik.
"Kami yakin bahwa satu-satunya cara untuk membuat anak-anak aman di dunia online adalah jika setiap orang yang ingin melindungi mereka saling bekerja sama," papar Elliot Schrage, Vice President Facebook bidang komunikasi global dan kebijakan publik.
Situs jejaring seperti Facebook memang sering disambangi para penjahat seks, yang biasanya mengincar mangsa user yang masih muda. Dalam beberapa kasus, user belia dirayu sehingga akhirnya jadi korban kejahatan seks di dunia nyata.
Maka tak heran jika pihak Facebook berupaya memperketat keamanan situs. Belum lama ini, Facebook dan MySpace juga telah menutup sekitar 3.533 'sarang' alias account yang dituding milik sejumlah penjahat seksual. ( fyk / faw )
