There are several possible explanations for why Excite made this choice, but the end result is clear. Excite was eventually bought by Ask-com – What’s Your Question?, which has a less than 2 percent share of the search market. Google has more than 60 percent of the U.S. search market share and much larger share worldwide.
Kuna maelezo kadhaa inawezekana kwa nini Excite alifanya uchaguzi huu, lakini matokeo ya mwisho ni wazi. Excite hatimaye kununuliwa kwa Huuliza-com – Nini Swali wako?, ambayo ina chini ya asilimia 2 sehemu ya search soko. Google ina zaidi ya asilimia 60 ya U.S. kushiriki search soko na kushiriki kubwa duniani kote.
