What a year it’s been for Facebook, the world’s largest social networking playground with over 500 million registered users. As 2010 comes to a close, Mark Zuckerberg and the rest of this troops can celebrate that Facebook is now the most visitied website in the U.S., Reuters reports.

From January to November 2010, Facebook accounted for 8.9 percent of all U.S. traffic. Google, which held the top spot since 2008, dropped down to second place with 7.2 percent. And for those of you still following MySpace, it’s dropped from being the most visited website in the U.S. in 2007 to No. 7 in 2010.

It would appear that social networking is more popular than searching for answers, though to be fair, Google still retains the top spot if you add up all of its ventures. Factor in YouTube and Gmail, for example, and Google jumps back into first place with 9.9 percent of all U.S. traffic.
