Who is the biggest social networking site of them all, in Bristol?
July 5, 2007 Posted by Matt in : Bristol , 6 commentsSocial networking has taken off in the UK at a phenomenal rate, but trying to gauge which site is the most popular here in the UK and even Bristol is a lot harder.
According to comScore, MySpace (worldwide) grew from 55.8 million unique visitors in August 2006 to 66.8 million in April 2007, just shy of a growth rate of 20%. Facebook had a higher percentage growth rate, but of a much lower base, moving from 14.8 million to 23 million over the same period. The difference in traffic is approximately 3 to 1!
On the face of it, MySpace seems to be market leader and Facebook will grow to become a market leader due to its structured approach, profile privacy and an ABC1 audience, which is key for all social networking. Each website has started to attract certain demographics as a general rule. For more analysis click here. (more…)
