You can go on facebook and view 50 pages in one session whereas with google you only may view 5 or 6 pages to find what you want. Therefore I do not believe the maths really add up on this one.

I’m not sure if facebook pageviews and Google pageviews have quite the same power – there is no getting round that you have to click through several pages just to get anywhere on facebook – but it is still astonishing at the amount of views facebook is getting. value of pageviews or not, to be coming close to Google is quite a feat!

Very interesting stats. Facebook is growing, but you must be a user to use Facebook whereby non Twitter users can use Twitter via Twitter’s search

Interesting stats – no doubt facebook is a force on the web. But I would say not every pageview is created equal. I think a pageview on facebook is not as valuable (and therefore not as monetizable) as a pageview on google, or even a news outlet like cnn.
