TYPO3 market share statistics–2012 edition
About this time of the year – one year ago, i was writing about TYPO3’s market share. Back then i took some criticism, being accused of comparing apples to oranges.

But Google don’t listens anymore to their users. Their have gotten into a position from where they can dictate how [...]

My two cents on the new Google layouts
