Hammer Time: Will Web Videos Beat Google?
In the month August 2007, USA search engines like Google and Yahoo! handled a total of 9,8 billion search queries. So search still is the number 1 most used functionality at the world wide web.

Yes Sir, SEA is still huge and growing, but Google stopping it’s Best Practice Funding (BPF) per 2009/01/01 could mean Mc Hammer Time for many search engine media agencies.
In the month July 2007, 9,1 billion internet video’s were watched in the USA. In June this was 8,4 billion and May 7 billion. If this meta trend continues, there will be more internet video’s watched in the US than there will be search queries.
