Check out this new analysis, which I have come across just a couple of
minutes ago:

I think it illustrates the value of this new service.

Yes, I wondered about it too. I guess it's only a matter of time until
clarifications come out and it becomes common knowledge (to enthusiastic
searchers at least). Can you imagine the impact on the strategic and HR
professions, for example? This gives you the ability to conduct rough yet
enormous-scale surveys using just keyboards and mouses (mice).

If you look at the link about, it will become ever more evident. Their
prevalent in search engine is still deceiving nonetheless. As to other
related new, bear in mind that China strides towards an admirable figure: 60
million bloggers by the end of the year. See what is expected by the end of
next year...

Bloody hell... that's a lot of original content (let us hope it will not be
plagiarised English content).
