Brits spend 2.6bn mins a month on MSN
New research has revealed that British web users spent 2.6 billion minutes a month on MSN Messenger in the last year.
Compiled by Nielsen Online, the statistics also showed that 1.6 billion minutes were spent on eBay every month between June 2007 and May 2008, while Facebook saw 1.4 billion monthly user minutes.
Other popular applications and sites for British internet users during the period consisted of Google, Hotmail, Windows Media Player, YouTube, Bebo, iTunes and Yahoo! Mail.
Meanwhile, the greatest year-on-year growth was experienced by social media sites Facebook and YouTube.
"Whilst the social media wave continues to have the biggest impact on internet behaviour levels, it’s important not to forget that some of online’s more traditional sectors continue to perform," Nielsen Online’s Alex Burmaster remarked.
Google was the most used search engine in the UK during May, Hitwise figures recently revealed.
