Top Irish Internet Sites

The internet in Ireland is ruled by Google according to the latest Alexa.com rankings. Not only is Google.ie the top site in Ireland, but Google.com is number two. Here is a list of the top ten sites being used on Irish internet services.

1. Google.ie

2. Google.com

3. Facebook.com

4. Youtube.com

5. Yahoo.com

6. Wikipedia.org

7. Windows Live (live.com)

8. Blogger.com

9. Twitter.com

10. LinkedIn.com

The first non-Google sites that actually have a European origin to them are #11 and #12 on the list as BBC.co and RTE.ie both being broadcasting networks; one in Britain and one in Ireland. This shows the power the internet has throughout the world as the top internet companies in Ireland are ubiquitous throughout the online world. 7 of the top 10 in Ireland are in the top 10 in world internet traffic. It looks like Earth has gotten a whole lot smaller.
