Facebook tops Google-less list of most-visited websites

An interesting list was released last week, ranking the 1000 most-visited websites on the internet (excluding Google and YouTube). Facebook topped it.

This is hardly surprising considering TIME's cover story on Facebook last week revealed that "1 in 4 people" using the internet not only have a Facebook account, but have visited it in the last 30 days.

This means that 25% of all internet users visited Facebook in the last 30 days!

Others high up in the list include Yahoo, Live and Chinese search engine giant Baidu.

The top 10 included two websites which doesn't have advertising as an option - Wikipedia and Mozilla.

Facebook and Google take privacy debate global

Recently, internet giants Facebook and Google both admitted to making errors in practice that breached the privacy of many millions of people, whom they knowingly or unknowingly possess information from.

I have been following the debate closely. It has encouraged government response, blogger response and news articles and interviews in the most prestigious news houses in the world.

I thought my best deed of this still-developing debate would be to post links to what I've been reading.

The verbal stoush between Google and Australia's bumbling Communications Minister Stephen Conroy - SMH.com.au;

Admission of "bunch of mistakes" by cocky Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a letter to Robert Scoble - scobleizer.com;

New York Times exclusive Q & A with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg - nytimes.com; and

Pete Cashmore, CEO of social media blog Mashable, suggesting on CNN that despite privacy setting changes by Facebook, the privacy war is NOT over.
