I think the differences between myspace and facebook are rather amusing. It makes sense its dominant in colleges it was started for that purpose.

Interesting figures. I wonder how they would compare with other countries in Europe, whether it would the same sorts of pursuits for MySpace and Facebook users.

Although looking at the graph, it seems all the geeks are on Facebook, and all the creative sorts are on MySpace (I’m going to get it in the neck for that!). In my defence, I don’t do MySpace, but I’m on Facebook.

Myspace is still ahead of Facebook, after all the attempts Facebook had on Myspace. In fact, many told me that myspaceisgay.com was also started by Facebook supporters! Abdul's last blog post..Whos.Amung.Us taking Web Stats to a Whole New Level

When they say active user, do they mean participating on a daily basis for hours at a time, or are these people popping on periodically to catch up with friends? I think part of the reason for this phenomenon is the fact that we are such a busy and mobile world now. I think there is a stigma for some people about the types of people who utilize social media, but when you consider the technological world we are living in, I think it's pretty normal these days.

This bears out with my own gut feel for the phenomenon. It is the younger lot who are in most need of social networks and women more so. The older citizens seem to have quitened down and stable. Nicole Price's last blog post..Festive Discounts

Those percentages seem REALLY high to me. I guess it depends on what defines “actively participate” and “regularly contribute”. So many people originally set up accounts with social networking sites, but once the allure wore off, haven’t visited those sites in ages and ages.

@PS3 -- I think the most recent census says that there are roughly around 300 million in the US, which puts 40 million at around 13% or 14% of total us population. Joe Hall's last blog post..Help a Charity and Get MASSIVE Amounts Of Links
