Google Lags in Portal Services?

I'm guilty. I pump up Yahoo's market share in things like calendar, mail, and finance. But I also use Gmail regularly, eventually will switch to GCal (maybe), and really think Google Finance is cool (but only use it 20% of the time).

New Hitwise data bears this out. Google has a huge lead in search, but lags in many other areas.

Still, something's not quite right about how this is being reported. Take, for example, Google Maps. Supposedly, it has 8% share, well behind Mapquest and Yahoo Maps. 8%? Really? Something's off here, isn't it? Am I the only one who can't believe it?
