I didn't realize Yahoo is such a popular site. I almost never go there. What's at Yahoo.com that's so interesting? Yahoo Answers perhaps? They do seem to come up frequently in some of my Google searches.

Check it out, Facebook was set up by members of the CIA and Justice Department. What better way for Big Brother to keep track of all the slaves? I don't use it and never will.

Typical skewed numbers as Google is the most commonly used browser hands down. I myself do still Yahoo but only for mail and only because I had mail accounts with them and Lycos well before Google came to the seen. Pollong is a scam most of the time and is influenced by who is polling and the outcome they want precieved whether it is political or corporate polling.
If your using traffic email could be a big influence on why Yahoo has such a high rating as I may have my online email up all day but again when it comes to search usage Google would win hands down.

This article does not focus on browser popularity or search engine popularity,(Face Book is neither of the two!), but popularity of the "site" as a whole...
