Friday Fun Link – Would You Pay For Search? How Much?

Researchers at the University of Michigan did an experiment to figure out how much Internet search was worth. They asked students to find answers to questions using the stacks (average time: 22 minutes) then using Google (average time: 7 minutes) then used the difference (15 minutes) and the average American wage ($22/hour) to determine that […]
