byWillis WeeinUncategorized

Alright, these posters are not the usual motivational posters you see hanging around offices.

Social Sites: While Everyone Falls, Facebook Rises

byWillis WeeinUncategorized

A couple of days ago, we reported that Facebook's traffic grew while Twitter remained stagnant. Since then, we were pretty curious how the other social sites were performing, namely Digg, Twitter and MySpace. Interestingly, all of them experienced a dip in unique visits and adopted a flat growth pattern (see graph below). Facebook was the only site that enjoyed a steady growth. Did Facebook steal all the love from the other social sites? With tons of addictive games, quizzes and news feeds to keep its users entertained, Facebook has surely created a state-of-the-art ...

Twitter The Most Followed Social Media Site on Twitter?

byWillis WeeinBusiness

Often, we judge someone's influence on Twitter by the number of followers he or she has. Although we should not solely use this to measure influence, it is to a certain extent accurate. For the fun of it, we gathered the necessary information of each social media site that is on Twitter, and ranked them accordingly. Note: We don't take founders or any personal accounts as the social site's main account. For example, we are not taking into account Digg's founder, @kevinrose but the official account, @Digg.
