Google First in Sign-In Wars With Facebook Close Behind

The sign-in wars have been won by Google with a maximum number of web users preferring to log in with Google account, but Facebook is just a close second threatening to throw Google off the track, according to one survey.

Google and Facebook are the two winners in this competition much ahead of Twitter. Microsoft’s Windows Live, which has been for years designed to be one sign in solution, long before Facebook was born, only had a meager portion of log in activity. While MySpace, AOL and LinkedIn make it up to the list with few percentages.

Google is winning the Sign in battle but there are different surveys which tell a different story. According to one survey, Facebook was holding the number one position with about 46 % of logins while Google held the second with 18%.

In another survey, Yahoo lead the competition with 34% of logins to news and media-related sites, Facebook in second with 28% and Google on third with 25% and AOL with only 10%.

Though the surveys show different figures, Facebook is the choice for various services like sharing links to websites, logging in to European websites or logins for music-related sites. It won’t be long when it tops on all surveys.
