ComScore: Facebook overtakes Yahoo, is now the third most trafficked website in the world

ComScore: Facebook overtakes Yahoo, is now the third most trafficked website in the world: "

ComScore -- a common metric used to measure internet traffic -- is showing off some impressive stats these days. In the month of November, for instance, Facebook overtook Yahoo! for the first time in worldwide traffic, with the social network nabbing 648 million unique visitors while the portal named after Gulliver's Travels pulled in 630 million. What does this mean to? Well, to point out the obvious, it seems that while Facebook continues its epic growth, the relatively flat state of Yahoo!'s traffic is simply not enough to retain its third place spot behind Google and Microsoft's sites, which grab up places one and two consistently. One note about these ComScore statistics, just in case you're wondering about that last one: it 'groups' sites together rather than counting individual URLS, so for instance, the Microsoft sites take the number two spot en masse. In terms of U.S. traffic, Facebook still trails Yahoo! a bit, with 152 million visitors and 181 million, respectively, so if they're truly hoping for world domination, they have their work cut out for them. We're looking at you, Mark!

Keyshia Cole Talks New Album, Working With Nicki Minaj

Keyshia Cole Talks New Album, Working With Nicki Minaj: "

Filed under: Soul/R&B, R&B News, Exclusive

It's been two years since Keyshia Cole has had an album out, and not only has her music changed, but her life has gone in a whole new direction. Since taking time away from the spotlight Cole, 29, got engaged to NBA basketball player, Daniel 'Boobie' Gibson, and gave birth to the couple's first child, Daniel Gibson, Jr., in March of this year. Now refreshed and ready to get back into the swing of things, the Oakland, Calif. native revealed that her new love and motherhood are the best things that life has to offer. 'It's great, it brings a whole new inspiration to life,' Cole told The BoomBox of motherhood. 'I don't even know what I would do without that love.'



With the new album, 'Calling All Hearts,' hitting stores Dec. 21, Cole wasn't just inspired by her current relationship, but also the changes that she has gone through while out of the public eye. Since her 2005 debut the singer has consistently released a new album every two years, and although her latest effort comes right on time, the obvious life change is what she believes made fans feel that she had been away for an extended period. These days, her biggest pillar of strength is her relationship with Gibson. Cole began dating the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, five years her junior, in 2009. 'I think that anytime that you have someone that totally supports you no matter what, and shows you that they love you when no one else is going to be there is totally just outstanding.'"
