Alexa is not an accurate sample, most people using a Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android Phone, Android Pad, Generic Smartphone, Internet Kiosks do not have the Alexa toolbar installed. The demographics of the people who install the Alexa toolbar are skewed also, favoring people who don't care about having crap on their browser or who really want Alexa there because they are silly enough to think Alexa rank is an accurate measure.
Obviously Facebook is approaching par with Google because Zuckerberg is creating his own walled platform that many people now see as the extent of the Internet, however to say that just because more people with the Alexa toolbar viewed Facebook over Google on one day is hardly news or earth shattering.
Facebook is the biggest single application on the net, of course lots of people use it. We know that without Alexa issuing a press release.
