    facebook_logoAccording to Experian Hitwise, ‘Facebook’ is the most searched term in 2009, beating MySpace (2nd this year), which was top in 2008.

    Interestingly, 5 out of the top 10 most searched terms are social site related – another piece of evidence that signifies the popularity of social media. It also serves as a caution to people who have taken social media lightly in 2009.
