AFP reports that Facebook has surpassed Google as the most visited website online, thanks to “a massive 185 percent increase in visits in the same period, compared to the same week in 2009.” If the visits of both sites are combined, they account for 14-percent of all internet traffic last week.

Google has been positioning challenges in recent months to Facebook and the micro-blogging site Twitter by adding the social-networking feature Buzz to its Gmail service.
