Social networking site Facebook is now the number one website in the UK according to global research company Nielson. MSN/Windows came second. Twitter failed to make the top ten.
Alex Burmaster, European communications director for Nielsen Online said: “Between just the two of them, the two most heavily used web brands - Facebook and MSN/Windows Live - account for almost 11 billion of the 48 billion minutes that Britons spend online,”
“That’s over one in every five minutes and highlights just how competitive the online space is for both publishers and advertisers when it comes to capturing consumer attention,” he added.
In April this year, the average Briton was online for 22 hours and 20 minutes, up from 34 per cent last year.
The top ten websites in the UK are
1 - Facebook (market share 12.7 per cent)
2 - MSN/Windows Live (9.2 per cent)
3 - Google (5.3 per cent)
4 - eBay (4.1 per cent)
5 - Yahoo! (3.5 per cent)
6 - AOL Media Network (3.0 per cent)
7 - BBC (2.3 per cent)
8 - YouTube (1.9 per cent)
9 - Microsoft (1.5 per cent)
10 – Apple (1.5 per cent)
