Bill Tancer at Hitwise is putting up some useful charts comparing Google, Yahoo, MSN (and Myspace!) properties.

For example, Google search is 80% of all *.google.com traffic, Google Images is around 10% and News is about 1.5%.

Today he put up a comparison of Yahoo, Google, MSN in search, email, maps, news, etc. It's great fodder for the portal and google-ologists.

And over at Heather Hopkins' blog from Hitwise UK, you could learn things like: Bebo is set to overtake MySpace in UK social network traffic! Wow.

My jealousy over the Hitwise bloggers having all that data around is tempered by my recall of an old Steve Martin quote:

I could not handle being a woman, I would stay home all day and play with my breasts.

Luckily, the Hitwise people are there to do that for me, I guess.
