Gmail Visits Surpass YouTube

According to the measurement company Hitwise, Gmail viewership in the United States has exceeded YouTube visit numbers in the last two weeks.

YouTube, which was ranked tenth of the most popular sites on the Internet, lost its position in the last week of January to Gmail. “Web sites have been buzzing with positions regularly,” the company explained.

When the focus is changed to Google-owned services only, Gmail is the company's second most accessed service, followed by YouTube, Google Image Search, and Google Maps.
