#1 being...? I get it that it's from 2009, but surely even back then Google Search wasn't king "by the time users spend on the site". Maybe GMail ?

The Guardian (citing a May 2012 Nielsen.com [2]) reported that Facebook is #1 (by a wide margin - almost 3x the closest competitor) as measured by the time users spend on the site.

#1 was Google, which includes Search, Gmail (found at mail.google.com), Google Docs (found at docs.google.com), etc.
