Facebook has overtaken bbc.co.uk in the chart of most popular UK net destinations. The social networking whatnot has moved into fifth place in the most-viewed-websites list from web measurement firm comScore following an 80% rise in traffic in the last twelve months. Traffic to the Beeb's websites fell slightly, by 2.7%, in the same period, despite the launch of the popular iPlayer.
The four websites ahead of both Facebook and the Beeb are Yahoo, Microsoft, eBay and, unsurprisingly, out in the lead is Google, who, of course, also boast YouTube within its family of web services.
