YouTube And Facebook Eat Yahoo's Lunch

There is a change in how people spend their time online over the past three years--and the erosion of early web portals like Yahoo and MSN.

YouTube (red) and Facebook (blue) are growing like weeds--at the expense of Yahoo (blue) and MSN (yellow).

Time spent on Google, meanwhile (green), hasn't changed much. (Thankfully for the portals, time isn't the only measure of value online).

If we see the Daily Unique Visitors for Yahoo. It has decreased dramatically from 80 Million Daily Unique Visitors in 2007 to about 40 plus Million Daily Unique Visitors.

And at the expense of Yahoo, Facebook has picked up a lot and almost doubled its growth compared to 2007.
