comscore has released its list of the web’s 50 most trafficked sites for july, and it’s incredibly interesting to look at the top few companies. take a peak at what powers these online giants and you’ll note more than just a touch of the social:
- yahoo! sites (also include flickr, upcoming.org, del.icio.us, mybloglog, etc.)
- google sites (also include blogger, dodgeball, youtube, feedburner, orkut, etc.)
- time warner network (also includes weblogs inc., netscape, etc.)
- microsoft sites (also include wallop, windows live services, etc.)

All of those sites, except for the Windows Live services, are acquisitions. And some of the Windows Live services, like Hotmail, are acquisitions that have been rebranded.
