Is Facebook Becoming More Important Than Google?
Feb 16, 2010 at 10:01am ET by Greg Sterling
That intentionally "inflammatory" headline is inspired by an article that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday, "Facebook directs more online users than Google."

Partly intoxicated by that SF Chronicle article, All Facebook wrote "Facebook Posts Phenomenal Growth In Search," citing an Information Week article that itself cites January comScore search share data:

Former Ask CEO Jim Lanzone, now the CEO of Clicker, has described the site as “the first structured, comprehensive and unbiased programming guide for internet television.” And in today's press release the site calls itself "Complete Programming Guide for Internet Tel [...]

Already widely reported from yesterday the Pew Internet & American Life almost 20 percent of US Internet users are on Twitter or updating their status with another social network: LinkedIn, MySpace or Facebook. According to the report:
