Facebook, which became the largest worldwide social network in mid 2008, is still playing catch up to MySpace in the U.S. They have 54.5 million monthly unique visitors, says Comscore, compared to nearly 76 million for MySpace. But Facebook’s growth rate in the U.S. averaged 3.8% per month over the last twelve months. MySpace’s U.S. growth rate is 0.8% per month. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, but unless things change a lot, Facebook will overtake MySpace to become the largest social network in the U.S. in…2010.

However, given that article directories and bookmarking sites that actually share revenue - like Xomba - are increasing their social networking capabilities, does anybody here actually use either Facebook or MySpace? Will either of them ever add a revenue-share structure themselves?

I for one don't see the point of either site. Does that make me some cyber-luddite?

If I recall, social networking as an idea grew out of the huge popularity of dating websites but for people who were not interested in dating. The platforms were identical. So much for new ideas... sometimes old ideas in a new dress work better!
