Facebook has improved and when you do updates people will go to and see, but after awhile facebook like myspace will take a hit after awhile when they dont update. if facebook were to get to say the same market that myspace gets of 230 million then myspace will do updates and people will flock more to see. The reason why myspace hasent updated is because they havent been fully challenged, u really dont need to when your at the top. Give myspace a reason to and they will update.

I think u can use both myspace and facebook. I do, I like them for different things. Facebook for privacy and not dealing with hackers, and myspace for layouts, limitless options and music. facebook is cool but it will never be myspace in terms layout design, pics and etc. So because they are so different and with the myspace link you can add to facebook you can go back and forth on both without ever logging out when your on. Its really the best of both worlds. I dont see either site going away at all. They will both be around like google and yahoo, so get use to it, especially you myspace haters

To answer your questions,

1. We don’t consider AdultFriendFinder to be a social network. You could argue that it falls into the catagory of online personal sites (which we also report on), but because it’s pornographic and relies on advertising for a large portion of it’s traffic, it has yet to make a good candidate for inclusion in this analysis. In any event, you can see domain level traffic for Adultfriendfinder at snapshot.compete.com

2. That’s an interesting analysis! Something like this will probably make it into the blog at a later date. One thing to consider is how people use the two major sites. On Facebook, you have to be logged in to even use the site, while you can navigate almost the entire Myspace domain without logging in, so its not entirely comparable.

It should be noted that Facebook first focused on Ivy League schools, most of which are in the East Coast. This would explain that pattern; and you’re right, the relatively lighter density of post-secondary schools on the Western side ain’t helpin’ either.

Two Questions:

1. Where does AdultFriendFinder fit into all of this? From what I hear, its unbelievable profitable compared to Bebo and others.

2. Can we find the overlap? How many people visit Facebook and MySpace? MySpace and Bebo? I typically log into Facebook +5 a day and MySpace ~1 a day.
