Did Facebook really dominated Google ?

Facebook as been a great success in recent times as social media is buzzing out all over the globe. As per the Stats it says that the most visited site last year i.e. 2009 was www.google.com (Google) which was the most visited and Internet searched sites. Now the stats of 2010 says that the most visited site is www.facebook.com (Facebook). It has dominated the greatest giant of search engine this year. The stats is given below:

Social media is becoming one of the greatest technology in reaching out people and its the perfect place for marketing as well as promotion. There are around 600million users of Facebook across the world. As we find many information in Wikipedia about Facebook and Google I don't have much to explain about the Internet giants.

Even though Google is having Social media products like Orkut and Buzz, these things did not make a buzz in the market as lack of applications in that and was not so user friendly. Orkut once made a buzz in the market but it declined very soon. there is a vast scope for social media networks and portals in the coming future. So there could be any other new portal which shall have the capability to defeat FB and Google.


Google is the mother of search engines. we find everything in Google. It has created the waves such that the word Google is used as a normal word. On my thought still Facebook should make a buzz in India as there is very less user of social media in India. India is the second largest internet users but still very backward in social media. Even the revenue perspective FB earns $1,100 million but Google its more than $ 23.3 billion. So I prefer that still Google is on top. Facebook might be the most visited sites, but for searching we still prefer Google as the most preferred site. There is still lot of fights going to happen between these two giant players. There is awaited applications and features and products to be released to have a stiff competition between them.

Facebook dominates the social media web and the Google is dominating the rest. Orkut and Buzz couldn't make so much as FB is doing. There is another product launching by Google to dominate in this market called as Google Me. Google is till the number 1 on web search engines but trying to dominate in social media with newer innovations in the services and applications they provide. There is also a news that Google has invested on the company named Zynga which is the back bone of Facebook to be still on top. every market will have a decline stage. But social media for Google is still a nightmare.
