A new report from the Pew/Internet American Life Project reveals search engine usage has now become as much a part of daily life as email for most Americans.

On a daily basis, 74 million Americans use email and 60 million use search engines. This new search engine statistic represents a 55 percent increase over figures from just a year ago (see ClickZ article, also).

A story from eMarketer now confirms that the Web has moved into second place as the favorite shopping venue for holiday consumers. The study was commissioned by Deloitte.
Consumers were asked to name their favorite shopping venue. Discount department stores were the number one response at 57 percent, but the Internet was a strong second at 44 percent. The Internet edged out traditional department stores which were named by 42 percent of respondents. As the article points out, it was only 20 years ago that traditional department stores were named by 67 percent as the favorite place to do holiday shopping. Things have changed a great deal.
The article tracks 15 retail destination categories in compiling their favorites list.

Diggdot.us is a terrific new mashup site that combines three of the best sites that highlight what’s popular, Slashdot, Digg and del.icio.us/popular. If you’re one of those people who can lose three hours clicking links on del.icio.us, or reading every comment on a single slashdot post, this site is for you! It’s everything you love, in one place.
While Digg and Slashdot tend to favor more technology and “geeky” news, del.icio.us/popular gives you a slice of what people are bookmarking right now. Diggdot.us provides a nice service, where you get a little taste of everything that the three sites have to offer. The best thing, they’ve got an RSS feed.

How about starting the week off with a mix to get caught up…
- Tivo jumps on the iPod bandwagon by announcing compatibility between their TivoToGo and the new video iPods. Now there’s not much reason to buy that episode of Desperate Housewives from the iTunes store anymore, is there?
- Signal vs Noise, one of our favorite blogs to read, has turned comments off, after the noise got to be too noisy. Hopefully they cool down and bring comments back sooner rather than later, because that spirited debate was one of the best parts.
- WordPress.com, a free blog service based on the open-source blog WordPress, exited it’s beta period and launched over the weekend. Go grab yourself a free blog. Yes, it’s free.

After a rough start last week with it’s new analytics tool, Google begins this week by suspending any new accounts and blaming it on extremely strong demand. Those of you wishing to create a new account this week, must submit your email address and wait for them to invite you back.
If you’re one of the lucky ones who created an account last week, you can still access them. However, it looks like adding additional sites to your account is turned off for now.
I guess crazy stuff like this can happen, when you take a $199 product and give it away for free.
