Facebook visits beat Google in between March 7th and March 13th, becoming the most visited website in the U.S. for the week

"Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits last week."

This development represents a major win for Facebook. The ability to represent the social network as the number one site should count for a lot as corporate representatives talk to advertisers and investors, and could result in a direct boost in revenue.

Social networks are not going away

The concept of social networking is going nowhere. It's not even a new concept. Forums and email are pretty much social media for all intents and purposes and they have been around for over 20 years. Social networks have recently been blamed for $2.25 billion in lost productivity. I wonder how much employees simply talking to each other at the workplace has cost companies. That's not necessarily online, but it's still socializing.
