Social networking Netizens are flocking to Facebook in record numbers, helping the site claim more unique visitors
in May than its closet competitor, MySpace. Facebook also enjoyed a
slight edge in April at 116.4 million visitors compared to MySpace's
115.7, but a 6 percent increase in unique hits in May pushed the
disparity even further to a 123.9 million versus 114.6 million
advantage. This comes less than a year after Microsoft bought a 1.6 percent
stake in Facebook, valuing the company at a staggering $15 billion. But
for all that it's gained globally, Facebook still trails MySpace in the
US where the majority of advertising dollars are to be won.
