Heading to Facebook


Aussies are
fleeing MySpace in droves and are heading to its rival Facebook.

Figures reveal the social network has twice as many monthly users in Australia as MySpace. Figures provided by web traffic monitor Nielsen Online, Facebook attracted 4,682,000 unique visitors in December, compared with just 2,362,000 for MySpace. Furthermore, each Facebook user viewed 381 pages on Facebook but MySpace users looked at only 252 pages.

While Facebook goes up, MySpace has been falling with usage down 21 per cent compared with December 2007. In the UK Facebook has 17 million users or three times as many as MySpace. Globally, ComScore released figures late last month showing 222 million people visited Facebook in December, versus 125 million for MySpace.
