MySpace is predominantly used by the younger generations, especially teenagers. My teenage daughter will spend hours on there especially at weekends, which I don't think is that healthy either. So when she visits me it is considerably less. But that is beside the point. The interesting thing is the rapid growth of other sites. Now many marketers try to ram it down our throats about marketing on MySpace, is this because they want to keep the growing sites for themselves? How long before the popularity of MySpace as a marketing point disappears? It was never designed for marketers to peddle what is frequently a load of tripe. I see it as a good thing that more social networking sites are on the increase, but that is a personal opinion. Nice summarization.

Those elements are each provided through SnapShot at http://snapshot.compete.com. Arrayed in the table below, these elements provide some interesting insights: • The frequency of visitation is declining on all three sites. Are new users less engaged in social networking? • The average stay is declining for MySpace. Along with its decreased frequency of visits, are there cracks in MySpace’s growth path? • Bebo’s average stay has grown a lot in a year and its average stay now rivals MySpace. The combination of big growth in people counts and longer stays is drive the attention to Bebo. Now it Bebo could just get its people to come back more often… • The average stay on Facebook is about half of its two big rivals, but at least it’s growing a little. <p><strong>Elements of Attention</strong></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="118"><p> </p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">Attention</p> <p align="center">(years)</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">People Counts (000/month)</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">Frequency*</p> <p align="center">(monthly visits/person)</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">Average Stay</p> <p align="center">(minutes)</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="118"><p>MySpace.com</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">52,214</p> <p align="center"> </p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">60,046</p> <p align="center">38%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">17.4</p> <p align="center">-21%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">25:58</p> <p align="center">-8%</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="118"><p>Facebook.com</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">5,139</p> <p align="center"> </p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">14,871</p> <p align="center">55%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">13.8</p> <p align="center">-28%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">13:12</p> <p align="center">8%</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="118"><p>Bebo.com</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">996</p> <p align="center"> </p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">2,499</p> <p align="center">69%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">8.5</p> <p align="center">-33%</p></td> <td valign="top" width="118"><p align="center">24:50</p> <p align="center">40%</p></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>* Frequency = Visits/People Counts, both from <a href="http://www.compete.com" rel="nofollow">www.compete.com</a></p> Frank,

That way we can see the total time in years. Total/collective time spent on a site (minutes)/(60*24*365) = time in years for 1 person. The "Rank (Visitors)" is based on unique visitors for each site categorized as a social networking site. For example, out of all social networking sites Facebook has the 2nd greatest amount of unique visitors. I hope this gives you some clarity!

Particularly the "Total Time On Site (Years)" section....could you go in depth on what formula you're using to reach each number listed? I'd also like a breakdown of the "Rank (Visitors)" number that you have listed for each site. Could you break down the top chart (Attention) a little more please?
