Google and Facebook the online duopoly

Traditional media is dominated by the big 6 movie studios (Warner Bros, Fox etc) and 4 broadcast channels (ABC, Fox etc) however as we move online it reduces to two. Google and Facebook are new media and dominate the time we spend online. Top online activities are not just media viewing but also social networking and messaging. Google has 5 of the top ten apps while Facebook has 3.

As a social network Facebook is on another scale. Its 17.2% of all digital media time spent.
