Which Website Has the Most Traffic in Canada?

ANSWER = Facebook!

Facebook is the new king of online traffic in Canada, beating out Google and Yahoo.

It’s interesting that around December 2005 I, like many of peers, had just discovered Facebook.   In less than 2 years, facebook has accomplished this feat: very impressive yet disappointing.

Why disappointing?  I personally feel Google should be #1 :).   Using Google’s network is a far better use of your time.   Why?…Google has the following: – Gmail – Search – Image – Maps etc. – Google Apps

Side note: according to my toolbar, Facebook is #10 worldwide as of now…let’s hope it stays that way.

I’ll leave you to draw the implications… 🙂

New Google Sky? Google is One Step Closer to Having “Google Everything”

I think the following is the order of Google’s Domination of Monitoring Our Universe:

1) Google Earth
2) Goole Moon
3) Google Mars
4) Google Streetview: now…

Google Sky

 

 

 

It’s like inverting Google Earth… 🙂  The next major breakthrough will be when Google RFIDs us and creates Google Body.  Google already understands a great deal of our mind by monitoring our keyword searches…
