1. There are six Top 100 search engines that start with the letter Z (according to Charles Knight’s list of the Top 100+ Search Engines)
2. 2003 was Google’s most evil year. (says Danny Sullivan’s list of Evil Moments)
3. Skype is the only popular “2.0″ site that functions outside the browser (as noted in TechCrunch’s List of 2.0 Companies that Arrington Couldn’t Live Without).
4. Of the 101 Biggest Stories in Search…
- 39 were on Google
- 18 were about Yahoo
- 13 covered Microsoft
- 6 were about Ask.com
- 3 were about AOL
5. The best question asked on Yahoo! Answer in 2006 was, by Stephen Hawking, “How can the human race survive the next hundred years?” It was answered by Semi-Mad Scientist (who did a pretty good job).

6. The top cause of subway train delays in New York City?
