MySpace drops from UK's 10









Myspace once was a most common most used netwroking website, this social website was used for diffrent purposes. Most users on myspace had general profiles with pictures and bios but some users who where influneced by music shared alot of music and media on myspace. Since Facebook has become on the social networking scene it has devleoped to the most common social networking website used, networking webites such as bebo,hi5,myspace and windows life space have less use of members. Leading the way in the UK, and most other countries across the world, is unsurprisingly Facebook with a staggering 52 per cent share of the market.

Whilst YouTube beat Twitter to second with the micro blogging service rounding out the podium, Yahoo Answers, Gumtree and LinkedIn filled positions four through six respectively. With TUmblr in seventh ahead of Moneysavingexpert and Moshi Monster in ninth Stumble Upon completed the top ten with a minimalist 0.36 per cent market share to oust MySpace

"MySpace traffic has been on the decline for at least three years now but this is the first time the social network has fallen out of the Experian Hitwise top 10," said James Murray of chart tracking service Experian Hitwise.

"In its place, Stumble Upon has risen in the rankings and is now the UK's tenth most popular social network.

"As the social media landscape continues to evolve, brands need to be aware of the fast moving trends and which social sites people are visiting"

Could this mean that any social website could fall even facebook?

Do you think that facebook would ever rank below?

  1. I personally don't believe that Facebook will drop in rankings in the near future, however who knows, with Google+ increasingly attracting new users daily could we potentially see a change in the rankings?

  2. I don't see facebook dropping in the rankings anytime soon. The social networking site is too popular, even with its constant privacy and security issues. Google+ could certainly change the rankings, but I doubt it will affect facebook

  3. i agree i dont see facebook dropping so soon, its a one of the most common used social networking website and had grown ever since its development.But as we all know that technology is growing fast, new developments are in the pipelines and even hsbc are investing in to an unknown social network website. Facebook is still strong and will be in the top ten for a long time
