Facebook, for the very first time, topped Google for most traffic to a single site over a weeklong period. Google, in other words became the most visited U.S. web site last week. Though it is the most visited site, facebook till date; had never trampled Google over a full weeklong period.
The social networking site outshined Google to take the top position for the week that ended on March 13, says the web analysis firm Experian Hitwise. On this, Matt Tatham, the director of media relations at Hitwise said, “It shows content sharing has become a huge driving force online and people want information on friends they trust, versus the anonymity of a search engine. He also added that, "It's definitely a big moment for Facebook, even though they beat by a small margin; we've seen it coming for quite a long time.”
Google had however passed the another social networking site-Myspace.com, which certainly enjoyed supremacy on the social networking platform for several years until Facebook popped in and turned the utmost tide of populace towards it.
