AOL most popular web site in January -
report
NEW YORK, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The most popular Internet
destinations for U.S. Web surfers in January 1999 were America
Online Inc.'s (NYSE:AOL - news) aol.com, Yahoo! Inc.'s
(Nasdaq:YHOO - news) yahoo.com and Microsoft Corp.'s
(Nasdaq:MSFT - news) mcn.com, Web metering company Media
Metrix Inc., said on Monday.
AOL's family of Web sites topped the Media Metrix list of the most
popular ''Digital Media/Web properties,'' including all the Web sites
under one ''brand'' name, or the consolidation of multiple sites that
fall under common ownership.
New York-based Media Metrix calculates that in the ''Total Universe'' of Web surfers, there are 58.3
million ''unique visitors,'' up from 56.8 million in December.
Unique Visitors are the actual number of users who visited a site once in a month. All Unique Visitors
are only counted once.
Media Metrix said there are 63.2 million people in the Digital Media universe, which includes Web
surfers, as well as users of proprietary online services, e-mail services, and other non-Web based,
advertising supported digital applications.
Media Metrix' December Web Properties report did not include those Digital Media users.
