:: Facebook Reaches Top Ranking ::          
Facebook has reached an important milestone for the week ending in March 13, 2010 and surpassed Google in the US to become the most visited website for the week. Facebook.com recently reached the #1 ranking on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day as well as the weekend of March 6th and 7th. The market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185% last week as compared to the same week in 2009, while visits to Google.com increased 9% during the same time frame. Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits last week.

:: YouTube Makes Milestone ::          
YouTube has just announced that it has surpassed yet another milestone, and this one’s a doozy: 24 hours of video is now uploaded to the social video site every sixty seconds. Every second you are browsing YouTube, a full 24 minutes of video is uploaded to the site. On May 20, 2009, YouTube announced that its users were uploading 20 hours of video per minute. That means in a 10-month time frame, YouTube uploading has increased by more than 17%. The feat’s incredibly impressive by almost any standard. More than two million minutes of video (or 34,560 hours) is now uploaded onto YouTube per day.

:: THE FUTURE OF E-COMMERCE ::

Players are stepping on each other's toes, significant acquisitions are coming and opportunities still abound.

Almost 15 years after the advent of e-commerce, it is interesting to take stock of how its market leaders have progressed. All the pioneers are stepping on each other's toes. For instance, Amazon's logical progression will inevitably lead it into Netflix's territory; Amazon is already squarely in eBay's. The end of this movie is yet unknown. Will Amazon eventually end up acquiring Netflix? In fact, Amazon seems to be finally edging its way out of a largely retail business model that was giving it serious bottom-line challenges. What is all the more surprising is that Amazon is doing it in this sordid economic climate.

First-quarter revenues grew an impressive 18% to $4.89 billion; earnings per share grew 17% to 41 cents, compared to 34 cents a year ago. Amazon handily beat analysts' estimates of 31 cents per share on revenues of $4.75 billion.

PayPal, however, continued to perform well, increasing the number of registered users by 22% to more than 184 million.

Can you imagine how many more significant businesses are yet to be built as the next billion get online?
