The social networking giant Facebook has finally managed to oust Yahoo’s second most important site in the United States. Yahoo was first until the year 2008 for the first time was held by Google and now, after two years of Facebook.
To put it in large numbers, Yahoo boasted 132 million unique users visitors in January 2010 – only the value of Facebook at 133 million euros. Google is by far leads the pack with an astounding 147.8 million visitors! These results were revealed by a search for Compete Web Analytics.
Yahoo will be able to? Or is unstoppable Facebook now? It would be interesting to see how Facebook manages really close to reaching Google. For now, Google is sitting on a comfortable lead, but in the Internet world, things are changing fast. In other words, Facebook is facing the growing threat of Twitter, which is now like a little dot on the radar with 21.79 million unique visitors. But it is growing too fast for comfort whatsoever!
Although it may be the second in terms of visitors, Facebook dominates everyone in the “Time” column! American users spend 11.6% of their time online on Facebook. This is far ahead of Yahoo 4.25% or 4.1% of Google. But that is because of the social nature of Facebook, a longer stay. Twitter seems to be the only company that Facebook could soon challenge warrants natural in that department.
