In addition, as the overall internet continues to grow, with more destinations and places for US Internet Visits--such as youtube, myspace, etc. it is very likely that the use of Yahoo and MSN calendar product may actually be increasing on a number of users basis, however, as a % of overall US Internet Visits it is decreasing because there are 100's of million ADDITIONAL hits flooding the web on these other expanding websites (e.g., myspace). I realize this is not the point of your article but it probably should be mentioned. The best way to truly track these products is by the number of users, especially if my assumption about the search hits holds weight (which it might not). Regardless it truly is peculiar to see that less hits are coming from the mail service verses other sources considering my experience with the calendar service of my choice is pretty much integrated with my use of email and address book.
