World Wide Web's Top 3's

With the ever stiff competition among Internet websites, the frequently asked question now is whether who tops them all with regard to traffic, users, income, applications and a lot more. To finally end all the hustle here are the top threes of the world wide web.

We will start off with the top three search engines of the web according to popularity. Google ranks number one followed by bing and third on the list is Yahoo!. Google has 650,000,000 - estimated unique monthly visitors, bing and Yahoo! has 165,000,000 and 160,000,000 respectively.

The top three social networking sites on the web are Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Facebook now has 550 million users, Twitter has 180 million and LinkedIn has 100 million.

Alexa, a very useful website that ranks other websites according to different parameters released its top ten global websites for 2011 last May 26. And the top three on the list unsurprisingly are Google, Facebook and YouTube.

You might want to know the richest Internet billionaires? Don't hold your breath, here it is. The top two billionaires on the list are founders of the number one website Google who also owns YouTube, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They are worth 18.5 billion dollars and counting. The third on the list is Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder.

Now let us go to the famous three on social networking sites. Justin Bieber is currently the most searched person in Google. Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) is number one on Twitter with the most number of followers at 11 million plus, followed by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) with 10 million plus and the third on the list is US President Barack Obama (@BarackObama) with 8 million plus followers.

Now that is so much to digest in just one sitting. I will be back with more of those next time. And oh by the way those rankings are time dependent. It might change after a couple of days or in a week. That's how the trend on the Internet is like. =)
