For 2009, 4 International Colleges and Universities (http://www.4icu.org/) reports that US Universities's websites are the most popular in the world in terms of online international presence and popularity, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) leading the pack.

Of the top 200 most popular university websites, 75 belong to US higher education organizations (35 percent), according to results from the latest release of 4icu.org (http://www.4icu.org/) rankings.

Following top ranking MIT, Harvard comes in as the second most popular university website in the world, followed by University of California at Berkley, University of Michigan and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to round out the top five positions.

Of all non-US higher education organizations, only University of Cambridge (UK) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) are listed in the top ten of the results.
