I'm siding with siliconbits. I also don't think www.msn.com should be up there for the simple fact that it's the default web page set by Internet Explorer. Of course the mass amounts of non-computer savvy people that use the internet aren't going to bother wondering how to change their homepage.
WTF. This: " The shrinking long tail Internet theory says if you look at the percent of all pageviews that are generated each month, a much smaller portion exist on the top 10 properties today than in 2000, at the height of the first Internet era. Is it true?" is "an extended view on the article"?f**king blogspam. Welcome to my block list.
MSN definitely gets a lot of its hits from default settings; the same goes for AOL. Google are also playing the 'default' game by changing FireFox, not to mention paying advertisers for new adopters of FireFox.
Stat crap. The data provided by Compete is nothing more than a SWAG. I ran their Snapshot service that "Provides free information for every site on the Internet including site traffic history" for two sites that I run. There data was not even remotely close to the actual data I have for my sites.Stat crap.
