A study by S.G. Cowen & Co. says that Google users tend to be richer and have more Internet experience than users of the other search engines, including Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft's search, according to an article on Infoworld. Ask Jeeves rounded out the top five. Considering how many Java web services tutorials use the Google API, this has to be a good thing. :)

I am sorry... did I miss something here. How is web-service-tutorial(s) linked with Google's popularity among rich ppl !!

"Moreover, people whose primary search engine is Google are more likely to have household incomes above US$60,000 than people who use competing search engines, according to the survey,"

The above sentence implies "Use Google as your search engine, and consequently, get paid US$60,000". Is that what it means? Really? It should say - Moreover, people whose household incomes are above US$60,000 are more likely to choose their primary search engine as Google over any other such as Yahoo!, MSN, or AOL.

Anyway, another malarkey from infoworld; what else?

Well, at least they didn't malign people with Indian-sounding names.

I'm sure of it. :)

P.S. May I ask a feature from TSS.com? I think we should be allowed to modify the posting of our own.

I don't read the sentence that way - I read it exactly the way your slightly awkwardly-worded sentence reads. There is no implication of causality, just a statement of fact. Its like saying "people who read the Wall Street Journal are more likely to earn over $100k." It is not cause and effect. No one is saying that the way to make $100k is to read the WSJ.

The above sentence implies "Use Google as your search engine, and consequently, get paid US$60,000". Is that what it means?

Nope, that is NOT what it means. It means that there was a statistically significative correlation found, but that doesn't mean that they discovered a cause-effect relationship.

A classic case in empirical studies in the field of education: Students who study less have better grades. Cause-effet? Nope, it just means that talented students need to work less to get better grades than less-talented students.

It's true! (... or so I hope!)

My wife says she'd prefer a google engineer over Brad Pitt any given time. (which is why I never tell her about that testng guy, because he's a google engineer _and_ has a french accent)

I am glad I use Google, then. Does this mean I have to take a pay cut if I stop using it?

Amateurs! :)) (whoever replied to my earlier message)

I only wanted to see how much known my id was getting. So,

Joe: Only American-sounding names immediately jumped on my comment, and replied as if they are experienced University lecturers. :)) It can't get any funnier!

I am very happy overall though.

That's funny, I don't see any "American-sounding" names. I see mostly names indicative of a European heritage that may or may not belong to U.S. citizens.

Google who? What do you call a person searching for something in yellow pages book? A yellow pages user? Or just someone who can read? Blah.

"Study says Google users eat more pickles, than users of Yahoo"

Study says that 100% of pickle eaters die.

Not true .. I read the study, and the verdict is still out.

Does it say like that? i do not think so

How much money did it say that people are more likely to make if they read TSS.com? :-)

I know studies present facts and typically avoid drawing conclusions about those facts, but does anyone have any thoughts on why? Are people who are more affluent more likely to consider the source for their information? Do they hate Microsoft/AOL? Is it because they are more likely to use broadband and thus less likely to have MSN/AOL as their home page? Why do you use google?

Or are you a poor MSN/AOL/Yahoo user? ;-)

...does anyone have any thoughts on why?...Why do you use google? Or are you a poor MSN/AOL/Yahoo user? ;-)

MSN, AOL and Yahoo all advertise to the masses on television. Google gained it's fame from the white-collar business/technical workplace.

Why do you use google? Or are you a poor MSN/AOL/Yahoo user? ;-)

Does someone even remembers AltaVista? Never really liked Yahoo/MSN/AOL's overcrowded pages anyway...

That's not what this article is, but it's funnier to think of the conclusion that way. "Use Google, oh poor and huddled masses of the world...that's all you need to do..."

Kinda like the one about people owning company coffee mugs being more likely to be promoted.
