Heather Hopkins of Hitwise. Of all U.S. Internet visits logged that day, 2.18 percent were to Facebook pages. Bad weather in some of its hottest U.S. markets might have kept people indoors, but in the United Kingdom, numbers were even higher, with Facebook visits accounting for 4.65 percent of all traffic there.
