    An interesting study, and one that reminds us that the vast majority of the world doesn't care if FriendFeed goes down for a few hours.

    I would like to dig into the relative statistics for MySpace vs. Facebook, and what criteria were used to rank MySpace so much higher than Facebook - were there geographical considerations? Usage considerations?

    note that ALL of these (except maybe gaia online) have always been targetted at "normal" people. the twitters and friendfeeds and diggs of the world have an audience of white male computer professionals, and that deters the masses from joining in.

    lesson: if a small 2.0 service is big on techcrunch and scoble, it's not going to be big on the whole internet.

    Hitwise is a terrible way to count. This is a company that's paid to use some measure. So if MySpace is one of these 1500 clients that pay Hitwise to do statistics, I cry foul!!!
