UK TimesOnline: “Hitwise, the internet industry tracker, announced that Facebook had dethroned Google as the worlds most popular website. For the week ending March 13, the social networking site set up by wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg got more traffic than Google in America. It was a milestone likely to be revisited as Facebook and Google limber up for what looks set to be this decades defining technology battle.”
