If you are an internet addict, you’re probably aware that two of the closely competing networking sites are Facebook and MySpace. And maybe you are wondering which of them is the most popular. The latest survey done by metrics firm ComScore show that Facebook’s popularity has surpassed MySpace. For the month of May, Facebook had 123.9 million unique visitors while MySpace only had 114.6. Moreover, Facebook had more page views than MySpace. The former had 50.6 billion while the latter had 45.6 billion only.
Back in April Facebook went ahead of MySpace by only a hair’s breadth. Unfortunately, MySpace was not able to recover. Maybe it will be downhill for them from now on. What do you think?
Both Facebook and MySpace are U.S.-based companies. However, ComScore notes that most of the online visitors of Facebook are overseas. Translated versions of the site are also contributory factors to Facebook’s overseas popularity these days. Facebook has something like 20 translations, including French, Chinese, and Russian versions.
