Facebook Bigger Than Google in 2010 – Report
Posted in: Google, Miscellaneous Tech, Today's Chili, Yahoo
In the tech world, “bigger than Google” is pretty much akin to “bigger than Jesus,” right? The former is certainly something that Mark Zuckerberg can claim in 2010. For the first time, ever, according to traffic analyst firm Hitwise, Facebook was the most visited site in the US, beating out perennial favorite, Google.
According to the firm, the social network comprised a staggering 8.93 percent of all US Web visits this year (between the months of January and November, when the survey was conducted). Google, now at number two, nabbed 7.19 percent of all visits.
Yahoo still managed to get some high marks, grabbing the numbers three and four spots with mail.yahoo.com and plain old Yahoo.com. And all of that advertising money has clearly paid off for Microsoft–Bing made an appearance in the top ten, coming in at number 10.
