Travel to Asia and start a survey. Ask people you meet if they use the internet. If they answer yes to that question, then continue to ask them just what search engine they use when looking for something.

Well, congratulations to Google and Yahoo, two of the biggest search engines in the entire cyberspace. See, these two are the top ranking search engines in the largest continent in the world. And, it is also interesting to note that these two are joined by Baidu. For April, these three search engines have reigned the entirety of Asian cyberspace. These are all according to a survey which was done by comScore.

Among the three, Google is king for it owns39.1% share of all the searches done last April this year. Yahoo follows close owning 24% and Baidu comes next with 16.7%. So if you would be putting that in numbers, just imagine how many people use Google, Yahoo and Baidu in Asia alone.

This morning it was announced that Google had bought stakes in the Maxthon browser project. The idea is that Google will be able to gain more reach in China and switch some Baidu users over to Google.

Maxthon amounts to 25% of Baidu’s traffic and even had Baidu as its default search engine, but all of this is about to change as it is predicted that the default engine will change into Google across all countries.

Following Google’s switch from Intel based systems to AMD ones, Intel decided to partner with Baidu to develop search applications for laptops, mobile phones and desktop. Along with this agreement they has also agreed to equip all of Baidu’s systems with Intel processors…

According to terms of the agreement, Baidu and Intel will jointly develop search applications for laptops, mobile phones, and home PCs. The partners didn’t disclose the specific areas of search technology where they plan to cooperate.

As part of the deal, Baidu also agreed to use servers based on Intel processors for its back-end systems.

“In addition to PCs, our users will soon be able to access Baidu search services on their handsets and home devices,” said Jerry Liu, Baidu’s chief technology officer, in a statement. The statement did not clarify how these services would be different from Baidu’s existing mobile search service.

This has been long waited, and I’ve tried to ignore it. Baidu IS a player in the search engine world. In fact, it still carries 50% of searches made in China who has (as of this moment) over 1.3 Billion, yes, that’s the one with the nine zeros.

It’s shares don’t rock the house as much as Google’s shares, but it is worth a look, and therefore a category on thig blog…
