Facebook Is Now More Popular Than Google

The tables have turned in the world of online popularity, with a new survey showing that American internet users spend more time on the largest social media website than searching on Google.

According to statistics released by comScore, the average internet user dedicates nearly 10% of his/her online time keeping up to speed with friends, colleagues and their favourite brands on Facebook.

This makes Facebook the single most popular website on the internet and the figure does not include additional time spent on other major social media sites.

ComScore found that Americans spent a total of 41.1 million minutes using Facebook, in contrast to 39.8 million minutes browsing the world's largest search engine. As such, Americans spend 9.6% of their online time using Google, as opposed to 9.9% on Facebook.

Google may have reason to worry, as comScore's figures do not simply take into account the amount of time spent typing keywords into a search engine, but also all major Google-supported websites, such as Gmail and even YouTube.
