Facebook Places or Foursquare – which is the most popular?
How does Facebook Places stack up against Foursquare? It's a question many have wondered since the world's largest social network jumped into the check-in game. We know Facebook has nearly 700 million users--but certainly nowhere near all of them are actually using the company's location-based service. Meanwhile, Foursquare has continued to goose growth, boasting recently that usership has doubled since the launch of Facebook Places. Today, however, we finally have some insight into the usage of check-ins on Facebook and Foursquare. Thanks to data released by Wildfire Interactive, we now know the top 10 most checked-into locations on Facebook Places. Like Foursquare, tourist and travel hubs dominate the chart--international airports, Disneyland, Times Square. But how do these world-famous designations stack up in terms of check-ins on Facebook and Foursquare? We took a handful of these destinations for our global comparison--from Boston and Las Vegas to London and Rome.

Chrome unseats Safari
And in third place... Chrome over takes Safari.
Google Chrome last week unseated Apple Safari for the first time as the third most used internet browser in the United States, according to new figures.
“This is quite a coup for Google as they have gone from zero to almost 10 per cent of the US market in under two years,” StatCounter chief executive Aodhan Cullen said.
Globally, Chrome remained in a solid third place with 9.44 per cent of the browser market and slowly closing the gaps with second-place Firefox, which had slightly more than 31 per cent, and IE with 52.78 per cent.
