Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com One more quick post for the day, before I go and watch the rugby (go Canes!).

Compare this to Alexa's breakdown:

- google.com - 75%
- mail.google.com - 8%

- groups.google.com - 2%
- video.google.com - 2%

- froogle.google.com - 1%
- Other websites - 3%

Pretty close and shows really that Google has a lot of work to do in its 'verticals'.

It might interest you to know that we track alexa ratings for people in the photo space religiously and we find big discrepancies in that space between Alexa and Media Metrix. I'm not really sure what that says yet but its interesting.

I wouldn't mind a 0.10% share of Google.com

[cough] But back to the web tech world, Scott yes I always sprinkle my web stats with a heavy dose of salt. John, too right it's potentially a great set of verticals. Once they get out of beta :-)

Venkat Venkatraman http://is850.blogspot.com/2006/05/google-is-it-over-diversifying.html I found thi spost interesting. I blogged on it on the theme of Google's diversification and ambidexterity. The other domains are hints (early peeks) at what they may be doing in the future. I hope someone may post the patterns of crossover visitors from one vertical to another.
As usual, I like reading your blog. Thanks

They're operating on a principle they call their 70/20/10 rule. 80% is a bit higher than 70%, but I don't think they'd be paritcularly worried about their search getting the vast majority of attention, because that's where they're aiming anyway.

I talked about this more in a recent ZDNet post:
