Facebook most searched term, visited site of 2010 in U.S.

General

This comes as no surprise. Social networking juggernaut Facebook was the most-searched term and most-visited website of 2010, according to Experian Hitwise. Facebook, which was the most searched term in 2009 as well, actually appears four times, in one way or another, on Hitwise’s top ten list; facebook login, facebook.com, and http://www.facebook.com ranked second, sixth, and ninth respectively. The social network’s site also accounted for 8.93% of all U.S. visits between January and November of 2010 — Experian does note that a combination of all Google-owned properties totals 9.85% of all U.S. page visits during the same period. Facebook beat out Google, Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo!, and Youtube who came in second, third, fourth, and fifth respectively.

    I wish Facebook would just go away. It’s like an annoying teenager. It’s lowering it’s users social skills and invading their privacy.

    well this site works better cause its has more technical services. Since I am a student at college I got a discount for 40% + 50% OFF because of the weekend so I paid just $20 to fix my laptop !!
    Just because of that I think if I register in their website like anybody else It will become almost popular like Facebook

    Why would you *search* for “facebook.com”?

    More proof that facebook is the AOL of today. Idiot users don’t realize the difference between the browser’s address bar and the google search bar.

    Remember back in Feb. 2010 ReadWriteWeb’s infamous blog post that somehow confused thousands of FB users. You can’t make this shit up.
