Google Alexa ratings dropped

[temi]

Google.com has been the second most popular site in the world according to Alexa.com for a few years now,
at the last Alexa update, Google is apparently dropped 2 places to number 2. Another Google property, YouTube is now
the new number 3 while Microsoft's live.com is the new number 3.

Does this mean Google is losing "market share"?

it could mean that we shall see

It could mean that YouTube is getting more traffic rather than Google losing market share.

8. Hi5 (I've never heard of this ???)

Never heard of them either, it appears to be primarily a non-English social networking site with multi language capabilities.

You did not heard about hi5 ?

in Romania there is whole thing about having a hi5 page. Actually I do not know any person younger than 25 that does not have a hi5 page.

I have some friends for which the internet means hi5 and online games

I think that if yahoo is at no 1 therefore, all of us should get more traffic from yahoo but it's not like that i myself get the most of the traffic from Google and according to me Google should be no.1

You are right about Alexa not meaning a thing but surprised how many people take it seriously.
