Facebook beats Google in Web users' minutes

This is not impossible to happen, because every computer rentals here in Metro Manila are using Facebook. And also US Web surfers are spending more time socializing on Facebook than searching with Google, according to new data from researchers at comScore Inc.

In August, people spent a total of 41.1 million minutes on Facebook, comScore said, about 9.9 % of their Web-surfing minutes for the month. That just barely surpassed the 39.8 million minutes, or 9.6 %, people spent on all of Google Inc.'s sites combined, including YouTube, the free Gmail e-mail program, Google news and other content sites.

To be sure, there's wiggle room in these estimates, which comScore bases on a combination of reports from a panel of two million users around the world and data from websites' servers. But the time spent posting photos, updating status messages and scrolling through news from friends has at least grown to rival just about everything else people do online
