2010 may have been social media's biggest year yet. Twitter holdouts caved, Facebook became even more enormous, and Justin Bieber was everywhere. Facebook and Twitter have grown to epic proportions, becoming staples of not only everyday life for many, but headline makers in and of themselves.

Here's a look at some of the biggest moments in social media from the past year:

Facebook Surpasses Google

Though it might not yet beat Google in terms of unique visitors, Facebook just took down Yahoo to become the third most visited site on the internet. However, for the first time, in March Facebook surpassed Google in weekly hits, topping the search giant, which received 7.03 percent of web visits, according to Bloomberg.

Here are a few things you might have missed in your list:

- location-based services (Foursquare, Gowalla, even Facebook Places, heard of them?)
- Google Wave's bust
- the explosion of social couponing like Groupon and LivingSocial
- mainstream media adoption of microblogging via Tumblr, Posterous, etc.

Surely these are bigger moments than Kanye and Tiger joining Twitter.

I was hoping for something more interesting...Tiger Woods joins Twitter? Who cares. Where can people access the tweet archives?

Also..."not-so-complementary depiction of Zuckerberg" - should be "complimentary", not "complementary"

They should have just renamed it to Top Facebook Moments of 2010.
