Facebook is Grabbing Most of the Time of U.S Internet Users

Article first published as Facebook is Grabbing Most of it's Time From U.S Users on Technorati.

Facebook is definitely rocking & now we have statistical reports as an evidence on the madness. For last few months especially, Facebook has become 'the place to be' for the internet users from all over the world. In the U.S, it is spreading like wildfire.Renowned global marketing & advertising research giant, The Nielson Company, in it's report has revealed that in June, 2010, Facebook had 127,011 unique visitors. On an average each of them spent above 6 hours on the site in the month of June.







 That figure is pretty significant , if we take a look at the similar figures of the other companies like Google , Yahoo, who are miles behind Facebook. In another report Nielson has shown that on average a computer user in the U.S has spent above 56 hours in front of their PCs in June. So, an average Facebook user who spends above 56 hours in front of  PC, spends almost 6 hours in Facebook alone. That's above 10% .  But make no mistake it's not a one month wonder. This success is continuing for the last couple of months. Here are the figures, that you might like to know :
