Google tops Christmas browsing list
Ξ December 31st, 2008 | → | ∇ Gadgets |
According to some national newspapers, we were all online during Christmas Day, hitting sales in search of a bargain. The truth is somewhat different.
A survey of web usage by Plusnet found that the number one site on Christmas Day was Google, no doubt fuelled by searches for turkey cooking times, online Christmas music and local snowfall. But a close second was Facebook, steadily increasing in numbers as the day wore on (and the boredom set in). Or maybe we were all passing on our post-Christmas Message greetings to Her Majesty via her Facebook page?
Shopping sites did get a traffic kick, with the likes of Amazon, iTunes and Play.com all doing well over Christmas and Boxing Day (as we loaded up on downloads). And even eBay proved popular - as we all rushed to dump those unwanted gifts. Well, there’s no point in leaving them hanging around is there?
