I really thought this chart from Hitwise (via TechCrunch) was going to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
On the face of it, Facebook just overtook Google as the most visited site in the U.S:
However, Google doesn’t get the benefit of traffic to YouTube; and Yahoo is a mere third, because Yahoo Mail or Flickr aren’t credited towards its total.
Considering Facebook does video, images, messaging, it seems this chart has been carefully crafted to create headlines.

Wow, when you put it like that, I’m not as excited as I was when I first read the post from TechCrunch. I was feeling a little bit giddy, not that I’m a huge facebook fan, but that it’s kind of a david vs goliath story, if you think of it. Facebook, a small website started by a college student, now beats out Google – the overlord if you will of the internet?
It seems a daunting task to beat Google at anything really, and it’s pretty cool to see a site that came out of nowhere, not too long ago, challenge the big G. Even if the statistics are a little fuzzy with all the third party apps and related websites and all.

Damn. Yeah well at least facebook is closing in on the big G. Google is definitely going to be worried about this development. No wonder they are pushing so hard with google Buzz.
