Go to firefox and type "http://http" (Without Quotes) You will be automatically taken to the Microsoft website. This left me a bit confused at best. I soon figured the reason. Apparently Firefox uses Google's "I'm feeling Lucky" option for a word after "http://" Now the first result is Microsoft's website. Now google for some reason feels that "http" has got something to do with microsoft. How's that??

Well... Maybe it's because the word http occurs 108 times on the main page of microsoft
They even used them to link to their own stuff I guess if they never heard of relative linking |

umm I am not sure that info is correct, I am pretty sure the most used messenger program (not counting IRC) is AIM followed by MSN Messanger
from personal experience, I have yet to have even ONE contact on my Yahoo messenger list (Maybe cause i have no friends?  )If I'm wrong they I guess its a geographic thing for which service you use. |

i think micro$osft msn messenger has more users.....
When micro$soft took over hotmail... they gained a big comunity behind it.. (that's why they bought it).. And yahoo did the exact same thing with rocketmail (for you internet oldies who use it, i did back in '96) The thing is msn messenger appeared first... it came preinstalled on windows.... it was gaining field before yahoo...... sad, but treu.. well.. not sad, msn messenger it's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Can anyone confirm that? According to Alexa, Yahoo is the top most site where more users visiting daily! ( I think, they are calculating it from alexa tool bar users) Here is the top sites list from Alexa (Note: Many of the spyware removers will consider ALexa toolbar as spyware as it s sending user browsing details to Alexa Server) |

Ive never used it, and neither has anybody i know. On a side note, i heard Yahoo was number one though.. Then google and myspace or something.. |
