This Christmas was a merry one indeed for many social media sites. Fresh stats from Hitwise show that Facebook and YouTube accomplished some impressive things, while social networks as a group attracted an unprecedented amount of traffic in the UK.
Let's start with that broad view. Would you imagine that, during Christmas week, people were busy buying presents and looking up recipes and travel plans? Well, perhaps they were. But Finally, YouTube overtook Windows Live Mail for the first time ever, becoming the third most visited website in the UK. This might not be as clear a victory for social media - email allows people to communicate, after all - yet it at least stands as a sort of Web 2.0 triumph. A small disclaimer: expect social media to lose a little ground as people go back to work and stop catching up with friends and family.
