Of course, a Google search for MovableType (no space) yields 2,430,000 results. Add “Movable Type” and “MovableType” together, and you have nearly twice the number of hits as “WordPress”.
If you do that then you should include “Word Press” which people type a lot. However the results are still strange because Google seems to be reporting different numbers.
A lot of people type “Moveable Type” or “MoveableType” as well too.
You can’t forget that ‘movable type’ is a thing, a concept or whatever. Not all of those references point to MT.
Why not simply consider what is present on the template of a default installation?
whoops. either google danced or mt suddenly got a lot more popular!
To avoid possible confusion with other term, I’d suggest restricting to the canonical spellings, “movabletype” and “wordpress” (both without spaces). I’m impressed that the results are as close as they are (2,470,000 versus 1,490,000). But WordPress still has a ways to go…
I expect both to be above ten million by this time next year.
That’s crap. Well, no, actually it’s not, but wordpress is definetly a superior system. It’ll surpass Movable Type soon enough.
WP vs MT is fairer in a way, as most people use the short form of MovableType and quite a few use WP for WordPress.

MT wins, but.. well, who is surprised really?
