“Google is second” you dont hear that very often -

Really? Youtube is “fifst” ?

Did you really just write “fifst”?

That can’t be right. Everybody knows it’s foursquare

So much for spell check huh?

If they included the youtube traffic as part of google then google would be #1 by at least a whole percentage point.

“fifst”.. looks like Techcrunch spellchecker is not working :)

Hitwise played you well. They intentionally broke apart Google and Yahoo properties to show FB as #1, knowing that you will reliably “report” it and give them some buzz

Based on your own logic, if you combine Google and Youtube, then Google is first.

What the heck has Facebook done since January to make this move/

In other news the Earth orbits the sun.

i am sooo tired of hearing about facebook. i mean, really, what is so innovative about that site? to me, it just seems like a customized message board. what is the big deal? its a total time waster.

They dont combine Yahoo Mail and Yahoo perhaps because it’s less sexy to say “Yahoo is top site” than to say “Facebook is top site”. They didn’t break out gmail traffic from google figures, right?

You can’t combine Google and YouTube because YouTube isn’t really marketed as part of Google.

I agree. Splitting up Yahoo, making Facebook #1 means this will get a lot of buzz it otherwise wouldn’t if they had said: Google 1 (with Youtube), Yahoo 2, Facebook 3.

Indeed… it’s akin to fif – http://www.vidilife.com/video_play_28547_I_Plead_the_Fif.htm

Something important to mention is the time people actually spend on each site, i bet people spend more time in FCBK than they do at the GOOG blank page (same could be said of TouTube). also the social networking is getting bigger and i don’t know how much can GOOG grow from this point.

… but its just a comparison of domain.

Domain: http://www.facebook.com – 7.07%
Domain: http://www.google.com – 7.03%

Now you understand?! ;)

[...] Read more at TechCrunch. AKPC_IDS += "2440,";Popularity: unranked [?] [...]

yea, because orkut, picasa, buzz, gmail, chrome, android, google product, google finance arent all in last place right?

This report is skewed and full of spin by HitWise’s own data!

Google (with 7.03% of US traffic) owns YouTube (who has 2.14%), so if you add their traffic together you get Google with 9.17%.

Yahoo (3.67%) plus Yahoo Mail (3.8%) means that Yahoo has 7.47%.

Both Google and Yahoo are ahead of Facebook who has 7.07% of US traffic.

Facebook is still third…for now. ;-)

I would like to know if facebook offer info that show where people spend their time in the site

There is nothing wrong with the comparison they drew. It’s a pure comparison of traffic to domains, not combined business properties. facebook.com gets more traffic in the US than google.com. You can’t look at that data and make a call on which business receives more traffic, because it’s only two domains in isolation.

I should clarify, that data only represents traffic originating from the US region. It doesn’t take into account international traffic hitting those domains.

Seems strange to me to ding this comparison by bringing up YouTube.

How about all other domains that use FB Connect…and then you have to talk about Google syndication, OpenID and so on. Apples to apples is impossible if you look at it that way.

Is it material that Facebook.com got more traffic than Google.com last month? Absolutely. Put the 12 month trends side by side. Bottom line the number 1 site for last 12 months basically flatlined while Facebook.com doubled and took the lead. Huge deal.

Completely agree with your assessment of it. Why they didn’t group the companies together as one is beyond me.

Although i guess they are grading individual websites, NOT companies that own a bunch of websites.

Sounds about right…

I had set up many of my clients on Gorg apps. I’ve moved most of them off. So they don’t visit the Gorg anymore: they’re Binging these days.

Twitter had its day… I think it’s topped out and may become a yawner, also. Not much conversation there anymore, just self-important posting. Meh.

hm … and what about bing ? ;(

For the past 6 years all I have ever known is Google being the #1 site and now all of a sudden Facebook is the number #1 site. I’m curious to see how long this will last and considering that Hitwise is the only site that is stipulating that Facebook is the number 1 , I wonder how accurate could it be. Alexa rankings still holds Google at the top spot.

Saying that Yahoo! is anything but fail is considered out-of-style…

If you really want to see the traffic to an URL, you have to see the traffic coming to the site with that URL.
Comparing the URL traffic and taking the company names as one or two or three is a little misplaced semantic logic. :-)
