Google Sets New Internet Traffic Record

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

In their earnings call last week, Google announced a record 2010 third-quarter revenue of $7.29 billion (up 23% from last year). The market rejoiced and Google shares shot past $615 giving the company a market cap of more than $195 billion.

This month, Google broke an equally impressive Internet traffic record — gaining more than 1% of all Internet traffic share since January. If Google were an ISP, as of this month it would rank as the second largest carrier on the planet.

Only one global tier1 provider still carries more traffic than Google (and this ISP also provides a large portion of Google’s transit).

In the graph below, I show a weighted average percentage of Internet traffic contributed by the search / mobile OS / video / cloud giant. As in earlier posts, the Google data comes from 110+ ISPs around the world participating in ATLAS. The multiple shaded colors represent different Google ASN and reflect ongoing global traffic engineering strategies.

Surprise! Passwords Are (Still) Weak Link in Security Chain

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Despite predictions that the password will fade into obscurity, or the rise of alternative methods of authentication such as fingerprint scanners, the username and password are still the default method of accessing secure accounts and information. Unfortunately, weak passwords, and poor password practices mean the password isn’t providing very good protection in many cases.

A survey conducted on behalf of Webroot uncovered some concerning–yet not all that shocking–details about passwords. It would be nice to say that the survey results are startling, but the reality is that surveys such as this show year after year that users continue to follow the same poor password practices, and that passwords continue to be a weak link for computer and information security.

Facebook and Bing Team-Up for Social Search

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Can your search get by with a little help from your friends? Bing thinks so. The Microsoft search site now lets users upgrade their queries by drawing on information friends have shared on Facebook.

One new Bing search option, Liked Results, should spotlight relevant items shared by friends on Facebook. As a post on Bing’s blog explains, a search for restaurants in San Francisco would no longer show just those places that the Web at large deems worthy of interest, but establishments Facebook pals like.

Internet TV Screens

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

The future of television is in flux as traditional manufacturers battle hi-tech companies to control the living room, say analysts.

The view comes as Sony prepares to unveil the first Google-powered TV.

Connecting the TV to the web has become a focus among manufacturers and set top box makers vying for market share.

Google’s emergence has energised things said commentators as has Apple’s renewed bid for domination with its TV converter.

“There are so many variables just now and no one clear winner,” Paul Erickson, senior analyst with IMS Research told BBC News.

“Everybody is trying to own the living room experience. Google has definitely got everyone on their toes and all eyes are on Sony to see how it does with its Google TV offering.”

Over five billion people watch TV which is more than the number of people who use mobile phones or computers.
