Facebook Overtakes MySpace

For the first time, according to the latest data from Compete, Facebook outdrew MySpace in terms of unique visitors. But Facebook isn't the fastest growing network. Twitter's numbers grew 27.6% in December, and 752% for the year. LinkedIn is up 152% for the year. In fact, the only one here that's losing traffic is MySpace. They better figure out a way to grab a new audience, and fast. Their demographic is growing up. See below for the Compete data.

I was in a mall about 6 months ago and I overheard some one say to a friend,

"That other website, FaceSomething, is like the new MySpace"

At that point I knew the tide was turning.

I would really like more professionals to join facebook and leave Linkedin.  Linked in charges $19.99 a mth for features free for use on facebook.

Frankly, people are more authentic on facebook than Linkin and this is a deciding factor for me.

I just hope Facebook doesn't get overrun with teens.  I like FB because it offers a platform that I can use to market myself and my business ventures.  MySpace became to cluttered and FB risk that with all these crappy applications.

I don't think MySpace is going to fade out.  Their demographics might be growing up but there's another generation right behind them that's more in tune with technology.
