Just saw this post and a couple others that commented on it – Facebook Passes Google in “Time Spent” – What Does it Mean?
What does it mean? Honestly, it could mean any number of things. But let’s take a peek at the accompanying graphic first:
Here’s what I think it might mean:
- Well, duh. Facebook is a social place where you connect with people you like. Google’s a search engine. Apples and oranges. ‘Nuf said.
- Related to #1 – Google’s main thing – their search engine – has been #1 for a long time. But the web has been morphing from primarily a place you surf and search for content to a place where you connect with people. You can see that in the graphic above – look at the mix of search engines, social places, email, etc.
- #2 leads to my last point – not certain the percentages are an accurate reflection of reality. Why? Well – they’re comparing Facebook – where you can do lots of stuff, like chat, watch videos, see pics of people, leave status updates, do Facebook PM emails, etc – to only Google’s search engine. But if you add up all the Google properties in this top 20 list – Google, YouTube, Gmail, and Google Maps – Google still clearly comes out on top.
Just picky this morning!

I like your #3 as it clearly shows how people add apples and oranges to come up with statistics.

FB is real competition to Google and FB is growing very fast. FB is addictive but Google is not. I think FB email will be a big hit.
