I doubt it will take Google much time to pass Microsoft. Maybe by next year :)

It’s not surprising that MS beats G for time spent online seeing as how so many people still use hotmail. However, if you actually measure the time when people were doing anything active (rather than reading an email) I’m sure Google would be way out on top.

I think Gmail will eventually be the biggest.

Arnold – I’m not entirely sure, but I believe Hotmail is still the biggest.

There is also the default MSN homepage in an IE browser to consider with every M$ OS that is installed — which some people don’t know how to change (and is good enough for them).

Thanks Sarki.

Mark – The question is who has a larger user base, Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo Mail?

Jon – You are right. Or we could also take into account the web activities in each company in August. But ultimately, statistics wise, the number of page views is of higher value than time spent.

Arnold, I think it’s just the nature of what each is offering and what constitutes “success.” For Google, they’ve been successful if you quickly find what you need and then click it. For Yahoo & MSN, they are successful if you spend an hour reading your mail, news or playing fantasty sports on their sites and see hundreds of ad impressions.

I guess it’s because of Hotmail that people spent the most time on?

Very interesting for me.
Nice stats.
