Compete.com put up the top honours for social networking sites in US sometime back. No one expected the result to to be anywhere different than featuring Facebook and MySpace at No.1 and No.2 ranks. Tweeter completes the top honours at No.3! A massive 1.1 Billion hits at Facebook with 68 million unique visitors does justice to the massiveness that Facebook is achieving. It has edged past myspace.com, last years no1.
The statistic doesnot just stop there, Facebook has also reported an exponential increase in sessions per monthly unique visitor!
Twitter, may be the one to watch next year, as it has galloped through to No 3 rank from a no.22 last year. The number on Twitter can be significantly higher especially because often it is browsed through third party applications where as the study is based on browser data.
Interestingly Orkut which was buzzing loud till some time back and is still the no 1 networking site in India doesnot feature in the top 20. This is probably because in terms of innovative applications, Orkut has not kept pace with the social networking scene. Do we see Google beginning to loose steam here as well?
