People Actually Need A Search Engine to Find MySpace

Duh-Idiot.jpg

Is it just us or are people idiots when it comes to navigating to popular websites? A recent Hitwise study featured on eMarketer found MySpace to be the top search term for 2006. Also on the list are ebay, Yahoo and Mapquest. Are we the only ones that realize all you have to do is add a .com to these popular names rather than search for them? Hmm. I suppose somewhere in the world, there are still people who haven’t heard of the Internet either. Oh well. At least Hitwise is making some money with this nonsense.
