In addition to beating out Microsoft to be the most powerful global brand of 2007, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Google is also the most visited Web site.
According to the Chronicle: “For the first time, Google has edged ahead of Microsoft as the world’s most visited Internet property. Online measurement firm comScore Networks found that Google had just over a million more unique users in March than its arch-rival.
“Google had 528 million unique visitors in March, up 5 percent from the previous month, according to comScore. Microsoft had 527 million visitors during the same month, up 3.7 percent.”
Geoffrey Bowker, executive director of the Center for Science, Technology and Society at Santa Clara University is quoted in the Chronicle as saying: “At the moment, everything that Google is touching turns to gold.”
