Seems like The Economist is a bit slow off the mark here (like at least a couple of years). The more interesting story at the moment is around Facebook, not Google.

When you say "book reading", are you hinting that the writer of the piece lifted much of the background from The Search? Because if you are, I agree.
It was an interesting article, and good that a broad interest mag like The Economist has covered it in such relative depth, but I'm not sure I learned anything I hadn't already read in The Search.

All of those that HATE Google now, should remember that for years they have been getting free traffic from Google's organic SERPs.

Google is now getting something from their Websites.

“Google’s share of web searches must remain stable. Thanks to its brand, this looks manageable.”

One thing that’s funny about this is that it really depends on which statistics are used (the article cites Hitwise). Does Hitwise know if I type in battellemedia.com and/or hotels.com and/or whatever? see, for example, http://20070831.battelle.top-searched.info (a redirect I have set up for easier legibility).

In other words, if I were a Google shareholder, I would start worrying now.
