Facebook continues its rapid growth, exponentially as it crawls up at number 4. It follows names like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, each of which have been on the web for much longer time than the leading social network. The site has grow by over 150% , surpassing bigger names in business like Amazon, MySpace. I don’t doubt Facebook going ahead of Yahoo and Microsoft eventually, even though each has between 200 million to 400 million users to top what Facebook currently has, but that appears to be a small number given Facebook’s growth in the recent past. As for giving Google any trouble, I think it has quite a bit more to grow until it becomes that big.

Growth is good and Facebook just keeps getting bigger every week and now is the 4th largest site on the internet, behind Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. Some people are predicting that in time it will surpass Microsoft and Yahoo, possibly Yahoo if it doesn’t get its acts together quickly but chances of passing Microsoft are pretty low. Not only does Microsoft have its suite of online destinations such as MSN but with their Microsoft Office suite online I think it is fair to say they will have the lead for quite some time.
