four Web properties -- America Online
(NYSE: AOL - news), Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO -
news), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) and
Napster (news - web sites) -- now account for more
than half of all the time spent online by U.S. surfers,
Jupiter Media Metrix (Nasdaq: JMXI - news) said
Monday.
Jupiter's report found that the
number of Web sites controling
50 percent of surfing time
shrunk to four from 11 two
years ago.
Moreover, 14 companies
control 60 percent of online
time, down from 110 Web sites
in March 1999.
Jupiter said the data helps dispel the long-held myth
that market dominance on the Web would be
difficult to achieve.
