Facebook vs MySpace stats
The latest data via show growth of Facebook (over 115 million visitors) passing up MySpace, according to ComScore. It’s disputable to say if it’s MySpace or Facebook the largest social network as some of the stats are shown for U.S. market and data are variant. Anyway, there will always be users (pro &contra) of MySpace and Facebook depending on geographic, social context and digital divide. These data can be useful to some of my students of the school of web journalism who are exploring social networking sites.

Good Afternoon,
My name is Simon Hammond; I am PhD researcher in the school of Social Work and Psychology at the University of East Anglia, in England.
My research aims to explore the role of narrative formation as a way of reinforcing identity via an online medium, sort of like an online web journal. As such as part of my literature review I am currently developing
a chapter section of my thesis on SNS and there importance to youth culture as a tool for communication. As part of my search I stumbled across your blog article entitled “Facebook vs MySpace stats” (http://www.danicar.org/2008/06/13/facebook-vs-myspace-stats).
Since I wish to show SNS prevalence to youth culture I was wondering if you had a reference you could send me for the figures your present in your blog? I tired to follow the ‘ComScore’ route but this search came to
nothing.
Hello Simon,
Try this link, you have all stats there http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/12/facebook-no-longer-the-second-largest-social-network/ as the resource of my blog post. You’ll find there further references.
Nice to meet someone from UK researching social media and youth culture. Do you have a blog or site where some of your written word can be seen? (there are many Simon Hammonds!).
