facesærch blog

There are different kind of users out there, with different thoughts, needs, work flows and goals.

Give them a choice.

First i looked via Google insights at the distribution of search demand for Microsoft, Linux and Apple since 2004. (MS = blue, linux = red, apple = orange)

Well, the interest in Microsoft and Linux goes down (seen as a trend, not overall figures) and hey, i think that is a great thing, the OS, the desktop becomes more irrelevant over time, the web is the new OS, Firefox the new desktop. Nonetheless, i looked in a more detail at the last 90 days.

Do you see the strange “potholes”?

What’s more important, Linux and Microsoft have the same potholes. While Apple goes up, overall, but Apple also goes up when Microsoft and Linux go down. Oh yeah, the “Up’s” all occur on weekends.

The conclusion is quite simple: we work and suffer with MS and Linux, we relax with Apple on the weekends. If you have another conclusion, there is a great comment box at the end of this post.

Great, facesaerch (with ae) has new sitelinks, not only for the generic “correct” written term “facesearch” (see old post)

note “facesearch” is suggested to be corrected as “fotosearch” … why?

now my brand brand “facesaerch” (ae) has the sitelinks, too

facesaerch, now is recognized as the best target for his own brand brand plus the “Did you mean:” is gone. Making it officially, facesaerch is not a misspelling, but a brand brand in it’s own right.

Oh, vienna…
