Facebook Unseats Google As Most-Visited Site - GoFuckYourself.com

Ahh shame poor old google

Although the "thud" wasn't verified until this afternoon, it seems that an online giant fell a couple of days ago. According to new data from Hitwise, Facebook managed to beat Google in terms of visits between March 7th and March 13th, becoming the most visited website in the U.S. for the week.

The graph visible below makes the changeup pretty clear (blame the sloppy enlarged bit on us, not Hitwise). What's more, it doesn't look like Facebook's going to relinquish its lead anytime soon.

Heather Dougherty explained, "The market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185% last week as compared to the same week in 2009, while visits to Google.com increased 9% during the same time frame."

Then here's one more interesting fact, courtesy of Dougherty: "Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits last week."

That's worldwide rank, and Facebook wouldn't pass Google in that for another 6 months to a year if it kept up its current growth rate. Plus Google has about 2178382746938749287 other TLDs that are all ranked fairly well in Alexa that this article and the .com Alexa ranking doesn't take into account. In other words, as an overall, Facebook vs. Google is still Google by a landslide and will be for years.

I prefer to look at who made more money in the same date range. Facebook's got nothing on Google

I didn't either until I decided to activate my account....Facebook is useful as HELL and now instead of checking the boards and email when I wake up, I check facebook....I've found people on there that I NEVER thought I would see or hear from again.....Twitter is another story as I don't see the use unless I'm a celebrity.

I get why people like Facebook to get in contact with people they haven't heard from in ages, but the fact that people seem to be on it all damn day, every day. Talking to people they are in contact with on a daily basis anyway.

I just don't see why people are so obsessed with it...

Because most of the population has no fucking life imho/ kinda sad when you think about it

PornstarXS · 03-17-2010, 09:58 AM

facebook is the attention whore program. the popularity and rage is created by women and prepubescent teens. digitaldivas is correct about the no fucking life and kinda sad, actually really sad. it was a genius idea to collect the masses of the desperate and the influx of ugly people pictures.

halfpint · 03-17-2010, 10:36 AM

It has more uses than just speaking to or finding your long lost friends. Not only is it a social community it is also a tool which a lot of webmasters use
