What are the top web properties?

TechCrunch is reporting that "Facebook gained 24M unique visitors worldwide in June. It is now the 4th largest site in the world, trailing only Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo sites, according to comScore. In the past year, it has grown 157%, gaining 208M visitors. In the U.S., Facebook had 77M unique visitors in June, making it the 6th largest site in the U.S. "

Here's the top 10 globally:

"Worldwide unique visitors (June, 2009). Source: comScore

1.Google Sites: 844 million
2.Microsoft Sites: 691 million
3.Yahoo! Sites: 581 million
4.Facebook: 340 million
5.Wikimedia Foundation sites: 303 million
6.AOL: 280 million
7.eBay: 233 million
8.CBS Interactive: 186 million
9.Amazon: 183 million
10.Ask Network: 174 million"

The graph on the posting really shows the amazing growth of Facebook usage.

I've pondered this before but I wonder what the total traffic would be (estimates?) at all library websites, services and portals? globally or by country? Public, academic, school, special...?

Where do we rank as a group?
