Facebook Still Gaining on MySpace: Up 133% Since Last Year - Rmail

Nielsen has released its latest numbers for top social networking sites for the month of September. Not surprisingly, MySpace is still on top, with a 24% increase since September, 2006, while Facebook sidled up again in the number 2 spot, still gaining on MySpace with a 133% increase. This rate of increase is higher for both MySpace and Facebook, which were at 23% and 117% for the month of August, 2007.
The rest of the top 10 social networking sites remained about the same, with AOL Hometown and People Connection being the only networks to see a decline in traffic since last year. AOL’s troubles are reflected in its massive layoffs and drastic changes being made at the company as it shifts into an ad-supported model.
A recent study by Nielsen shows in interesting correlation for users that have profiles on both MySpace and Facebook, indicating that these users will spend more time on each site, than those with profiles on either one or the other. In other Nielsen news, the company has recently launched two new features, Nielsen Online and Mobile, for additional metrics tools.
