byWillis WeeinBusiness, Web

The battle between MySpace and Facebook for social-network dominance was long over. Facebook won and MySpace needed a new direction to stay competitive. You have probably heard by now that MySpace had recently gone through a design facelift. The new design was to support its new strategy. It's no longer a social network. Instead, it's now an entertainment-network, connecting you to your favorite TV shows, movies, music and celebrities. MySpace has finally decided to play to its strength. Just go to the music category and you will find that MySpace is superior ...

Shift Of Ad Dollars Into Social Networking [INFOGRAPHIC]

byNizaminBusiness

It’s probably no surprise that the consensuses are aware that more advertisers are shifting their attention from traditional media to new media to keep up with changing consumer habits. A recent study by eMarketer predicts that US advertisers will spend nearly $1.7 billion on social sites this year. Using social media for marketing makes sense, Forrester Research’s Jeremiah Owyang says, since it’s an inexpensive way to reach your intended audience. The estimation made is a significant increment from the initial 2010 projections, which forecasted $1.3 billion for this year, as well ...

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 ...

LinkedIn 39, Facebook 33, Twitter 31, MySpace 26

bySarah ChonginUncategorized

For those who didn't catch Twitter's trending topics today, you might be curious about what these numbers mean. Anyone guessing median age? That would be right! The numbers represent the median age of users on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Facebook is definitely aging as its median age increased from 26 in 2008 to 33 this year. We might have parents to blame for this! Twitter is on the other hand, aging backward with 33% of users age between 18 to 29 year old, a significant increase from last year. As you can see ...

A Gorgeous Chart: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace [Stats]

byWillis WeeinUncategorized

Twitter's explosive growth has taken the limelight off Facebook this year. If I was Facebook, I probably wouldn't mind. Reaching 300 million active users and having a chance to frog leap Yahoo and Google should be enough to keep it happy. A graph from ComScore tells a simple fact: MySpace and Twitter are far behind Facebook. Image via Chicago Tribune

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. Twitter Standing 1. Twitter Followers: 2,272,802 Bio: Random stuff ...
