alexa

Google just launched an Alexa competitor. As with Alexa, the stats are estimates and need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Quoted: Combines information from a variety of sources, such as aggregated Google search data, aggregated opt-in anonymous Google Analytics data, opt-in consumer panel data, and other third-party market research

Cozi, Robbie Cape's company, started out focused on family organization tools centered on the "living room" (e.g., using Windows Media Center apps). That now seems to have morphed to a more traditional online service (but now with Outlook(?) integration).

New investment by Gannett (Topix) brings total startup cost to around $15M. They are claiming 600,000 registered users and adding 2,000 per day. Their Alexa number are in the toilet, however (162,000), which begs the question, how are they getting all this usage, and not registering on Alexa?

Quoted: XP SP2 Update: But the whole feature was removed in the IE6 version in XP SP2 (did they fall out with Alexa, or decide that the security bug was more trouble than it's worth? Who knows). If you liked the feature, using either Google or Alexa, you can restore it (and gain a right-click menu item) by using this Related.zip (instructions included: just copy the included related.htm to your C:\Windows\Web\ folder, pick Google or Alexa, and double-click the included reg file). But note that the security flaw detailed here still exists, even in XP SP2 (in SP2, MS just removed the 'Related Links' menu item: if you put it back, the same 'page refresh' bug still happens). Only you can decide if that's important to you.
