Facebook Becomes The Largest Portal On The Web
February 16, 2010 by Pablo Palatnik
If you’re not on Facebook yet, you either REALLY must hate social networking websites or have been living under a rock. Facebook is the largest social network in the world with millions of people logging in each day to share status updates, connect with friends and family, and also share TONS of content around the web, ranging from pictures, to news stories, to videos.
Facebook is now a goldmine for online marketers as search engines have become in the past 2 decades. Social is a huge focus, this also commands a shift in the search engines with the social graph of the search engine algorithm changing around this shift.
“According to Web measurement firm Compete Inc., Facebook has passed search-engine giant Google to become the top source for traffic to major portals like Yahoo and MSN, and is among the leaders for other types of sites.
This trend is shifting the way Web site operators approach online marketing, even as Google takes steps to move into the social-media world.
Some experts say social media could become the Internet’s next search engine.
“People are spending less time navigating the Internet on their own and are now navigating the Internet based on their friends’ recommendations or their friends’ activities,” said Dave Yovanno, chief executive of Gigya Inc., a Palo Alto firm that offers social-media services. “That’s one of the big trends we started picking up on probably four or five months ago.”
