EQUTE — New Comscore numbers show that Microsoft sites still account for nearly 15 percent of time spent on the Internet.

This is interesting because even with Google News, Google Reader, Gmail, etc. the slew of Google products doesn’t come close to Microsoft. It’s also interesting that Facebook is slowly creeping up on these one-stop organizations to take 5 percent of the time spent on the Internet.

In September 2009, nearly 27 billion hours were spent on the Internet globally by a record online population of 1.2 billion Internet users age 15 and older. Microsoft Sites accounted for 14.5 percent of total minutes spent online in September, making it the most engaging global property, with Microsoft’s Windows Live Messenger representing nearly 70 percent of time spent on the property during the month. Google Sites captured 9.3 percent of total minutes (2.5 billion hours), with YouTube accounting for nearly half of total time spent (1.2 billion hours) at the property. Yahoo! Sites ranked as the third most engaging Web property at 1.7 billion hours, followed by Facebook.com at 1.4 billion hours.

The numbers are staggering every time a new round of numbers comes out for the entire Internet, 27 billion hours spent online. That is almost 40,000 lifetimes (if you live to 80) spent online in just September — nearly 2,000 lifetimes spent on Facebook alone.
