Top Web Properties

Fred Wilson has displayed this chart at his blog this morning.

Compare this to some of the charts from the past years. Facebook's rise is amazing.

Yahoo, AOL and eBay are still going strong. Wisdom has it they are also rans. The numbers tell you otherwise.

I am surprised by Apple.com's numbers. Are there aspects of their site I am not aware of? That is very possible considering I have never bought an Apple product. My next computer might be an Acer.

Apple: Remarkable

I am glad to see Twitter at 29, but they could be doing much better. 2009 was the year they worked on scaling. But I strongly felt they needed to walk and chew gum at the same time. They needed to add features and simplify the service while they had the buzz.

And I am glad my blogging platform of choice - Blogger - is doing so well.

Fred notes the US has only 17% of the internet audience, but that 75% of the top web properties are based in the US. The number that I find myself looking at is the 1.2 billion number. I want that number to go up substantially. The new country - the Internet - is the biggest country in the world.

Fred's observation is extra true in the blogosphere. There are more bloggers than lawyers in America. Go pro.
