CNN/Money reports that data from Hitwise indicates that Facebook.com received more web traffic than Google.com for the week ending March 13th. Facebook received 7.07% of U.S. Web traffic for the week, while Google received 7.03%.
"It shows content sharing has become a huge driving force online," said Matt Tatham, director of media relations at Hitwise. "People want information from friends they trust, versus the the anonymity of a search engine."
The comparison was only for the Facebook.com and Google.com domain. Google still easily beats Facebook if you include its other properties such as Gmail and YouTube.
