Facebook was the most visited site on the Web Christmas day
It seems that the majority of people on the Internet were dreaming of a blue Christmas as opposed to the traditional white one as Facebook became the most visited site on the Web this past Christmas day.
This past Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it seems that people turned to Facebook to send season’s greetings to friends and families, and all of that traffic catapulted the popular social networking site to the most visited site on the Internet. This was a first for the site in its history according to the statistics tracking company Hitwise.
While Facebook comes in as the third most visited site for the year, it is the most searched on term across all search engines for 2009. Winning the Christmas traffic fight is still a nice feather in its cap seeing as Google, a company some see as being Facebook’s arch rival in the years to come, was the most visited site in the same time period in 2008.
