What was hot last year is now so not hot.</p> <blockquote> <p>Take Xanga, the hot social networking site before MySpace: In October 2002, the typical Xanga user spent an average of 1 hour and 39 minutes a month on the site, a figure that declined steadily, reaching only 11 minutes last month, according to Nielsen-NetRatings. Friendster, another older site, hit its first usage peak of 1 hour and 51 minutes in October 2003, and then hit another peak of 3 hours and 3 minutes in February 2006. But last month, the average user was on Friendster for a mere 7 minutes.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>MySpace usage ramped up heavily during its first year and a half, hitting 2 hours and 25 minutes in October last year. Then it dropped to about 2 hours and held relatively steady there for the past year. Facebook, a younger networking site, is still on a gradual incline, reaching 1 hour and 9 minutes last month .</p> </blockquote> <p>Read the article <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/28/AR2006102800803_pf.html>here</a>.</p> Sun, 29 Oct 2006 19:41:37 -0500 urn:uuid:e0032d31-d785-4e4e-b1f0-82181dc18142 richard.kuhlenschmidt@famundo.com (Richard Kuhlenschmidt) http://blog.famundo.com/articles/2006/10/29/myspace-is-sooo-last-year Internet Safety MySpace http://blog.famundo.com/articles/trackback/875
