Not that anyone needed any confirmation of Google’s dominance, but comScore has put it into numbers with today’s release
of data about worldwide Internet usage. comScore says Google is the
most popular Internet property in the world, with its sites reaching
77% of the online population that’s 15-years-old and up in December,
2008.
Microsoft and Yahoo are second and third, respectively, while
Facebook is the top social networking site in the world and the seventh
most popular property overall.
It’s also worth mentioning that comScore says the global Internet
audience surpassed one billion people in December — the first time
that’s happened. China’s 180 million Internet users makes it the
largest national online population.
Actually its surprising that Microsoft is ahead of Yahoo and so close to Google.
