A new Google experiment has been spotted which alters search results as you type your query (for a demo, see video below). It is currently only available to a small sets of users, but going on past experience Google will either turn this into a fully-fledged feature or discard it.
It may well never make its way to the mainstream Google experience, but some are already expressing a great deal of concern about it, particularly with regards to queries that begin with words that could yield undesired Not Safe For Work results.

Facebook second most visited website in the UK
Last month, Facebook was revealed to have half a billion registered users around the world, and is the leading UK social network, with 26m British users.
In June 2010, Facebook accounted for 7.14% of all UK Internet visits and over half (54.48%) of all visits to a social networking websites. It was the second most visited website in the UK, only beaten by Google (9.59% market share for June). However, using the measure of total page views rather than visits, Facebook is way ahead of Google, accounting for 16.73% of UK page views during June. In other words: 1 in every 6 Internet pages viewed in the UK was a Facebook page.
Facebook also has a very high average average time spent on its site: almost half an hour.
