Google has continued to become such a hot provider that, according to
OneStat.com, "Google has a global average usage share of 55.2 percent
during the last 2 months".

Additionally, Google just removed from 'beta' status a question-answering service
called Google Answers, which allows you to post a question, set a price, and get an answer from any of the 500 or so approved researchers who have been
screened by the Google Answers Editors. You can learn more about the researchers behind the service at Google Blogoscoped, a blog which publishes interviews with the researchers, as well as useful information about the world according to Google, and tips & tricks for using the search engine.
