Facebook Now Second To Google In UK Traffic

Facebook is now the second most popular web destination behind Google according to data collected by online research firm UKOM/Nielsen and released earlier today.

The social networking website revealed last week that it had reached more than 750 million users and it clocked 26.8 million visits last month from UK members with a growing proportion coming from so-called silver surfers with their numbers almost doubling since 2009.

What's even more surprising is that UKOM/Nielen calculates the overall website visitors; Facebook has only one major online property while Microsoft and Google has dozens, from Gmail, Google Maps, Bing, Windows Live, MSN, Windows etc.

Google is still far ahead of Facebook or Microsoft with a whopping 33.87m UK visitors for the month of May alone, around half of the country's population.

The UKOM/Nielsen data also showed that Linkedin is gradually catching on Twitter with the business networking website clocking nearly 18 million US visitors in May up by nearly 70 per cent over the last year while Twitter hit 23.6 million.

Also, it looks like the rumours of a premature Facebook death might have been exaggerated as the social networking website grew significantly since 2010 both in the UK and in the US grabbing a jaw dropping 14 million new visitors in May 2011 compared to the same month in 2010.

"12345678," "222222," "abcdefg," or adjacent letters on your keyboard do not help make secure passwords. • Avoid using only look-alike substitutions of numbers or symbols. Criminals and other malicious users who know enough to try and crack your password will not be fooled by common look-alike replacements, such as to replace an 'i' with a '1' or an 'a' with '@' as in "M1cr0$0ft" or "P@ssw0rd". But these substitutions can be effective when combined with other measures, such as length, misspellings, or variations in case, to improve the strength of your password. • Avoid your login name. Any part of your name, birthday, social security number, or similar information for your loved ones constitutes a bad password choice. T...
