Who’s #1?

Depending on where you get (and how you look at) your statistics, Facebook has become, or is about to become, the most popular website in the United States.

comScore.com has placed Facebook in the number 2 position behind google. They say that Facebook got 151 million unique views in October vs. 173 million unique views that Google received. Hitwise.com says the market share of visits surpassed Googel in March, 2oo9. Either way Facebook is, or will be the most visited website very soon.

Hitwise goes on to mention that Facebook accounted for hearly 1 in every 4 pages viewed in the US for the week that ended on November 13th, 2010.

Facebook’s Growth

The primary reason for the growth that Facebook is experiencing is the fact that they continue to enhance and add to the services they provide. A few months ago they brought on “Facebook Places” that works on smartphones. It incorporates geo-location tools that, with your permission, tells your friends where you are. If you aren’t using it, I strongly advise you to put it on your smart phone.

What Next?

Vadin Lavrusik’s article on Mashable a couple of days ago says Facebook is about to add Skype Video Chat to the Facebook services. And you know they won’t stop there.
