The internet is a very popular sector, one moment everything is great and the next its not. Currently there are three major search engines in the mix, they are Google, Yahoo and Bing and Twitter is also very much on the rise. So where will these major players be in a decade from now? Let us take a quick look and prediction.

Google

Currently the largest site of them all Google has the most market share. But recently it seems as though the company just does not have the push that it used to. They seem to be concentrating a lot more on getting into other markets such as mobile phones and operating systems. In around ten years time Google may well be knocked off of their perch.

Bing

The Microsoft search engine is doing some big things. As well as rebranding themselves, Microsoft are also going to be joining forces with Yahoo and powering their search, as well as acquiring access to Yahoos technology and algo. We all know that Yahoo know how to analyse natural links and natural citations a lot better then Bing. So the actual joining of the two may really make them a force to be reckoned with, especially with the funds Microsoft have behind it all.

Yahoo

Yahoos search technology and engineers will live on but the results look to be taken over by Bing. The two could actually end up rivalling Google.

Twitter

The new site on the block. Twitter has spread an enourmous amount and has recently had a new homepage design, which looks like they are going to become a real time search engine. Can it succeed? Yes in all likelihood, but people want to begin seeing in reality real sites not merely conversations. So either Twitter will have to learn to grow and actually crawl, list and rank sites or end up being some other sociable has been.
