>Yahoo.com is bigger than Google.com in both India and US, in terms of traffic, as reported by Alexa. Although Google.com and Google.co.in are ranked 2 and 3, they may be bigger when combined.
Facebook is slowly catching up in India; it’s currently at No.11. The fact that it’s a far advanced social network than Orkut makes it a possible contender for No.1 Social Network in India in the next decade. Orkut had an early market entry advantage, and when compared to features it has a lot of work to do to catch up with Facebook. But I hope that OpenSocial will do the trick for Orkut.
