In some rather surprising news on the search engine front, Yahoo's domestic share has risen to 21% following six months in a row of steady increases.
Admittedly this is only half a percent but the big news here is that it seems to be at the expense of another rather popular search engine, Google, who dropped half a point to 63%.
Such small changes don't appear to be that relevant, but Yahoo will be pleased as this shows that all the messing around with Microsoft et. al last year hasn't affected its popularity.
Speaking of which, MSN isn't doing too well and though it did rise 0.2% last December is still only at 8.5%. Elsewhere you'll find AOL at 3.9% and Ask at 3.7%.
Google is still king of the hill then, but despite its ubiquity it seems that there are still a few stubborn die-hards who are refusing to ditch the old favourites.
