The blogs pages are more common because the blogs are a useful and fast way to attract traffic for our pages. The U.S Army military is very well known through out the world as the most powerful military force of the world, in the number of soldiers as well as for the kind of technology used in its equipment.

24/7 - Der Wochenrückblick (KW 48/07)…

Nach meinem 1. Glühwein in diesem Jahr, blicke ich wieder zurück auf die Woche vor dem 1. Advent, die neben einem Rekord-Jackpot auch noch andere Dinge zu bieten hatte:

If sites like freewebs (free web hosting) is on the list, then our forumer.com should be there too (forum hosting is more social than web hosting).

But of course, like orkut, if you ignore outside of US traffic than we won’t rank so well.

My bad… I meant #45.

#44 Arun - I had the same thought. Where is hi5? Then I remembered that these are US numbers. Though hi5 has a presence in the US, the majority of its traffic is generated from a variety of smaller countries…

I pulled some Alexa numbers (just for relative purposes):

Hi5.com traffic rank in other countries:
Dominican Republic 1
Costa Rica 1
Peru 2
Thailand 2
Mexico 7

Cheers,

Hey, what about Hi5.com? Surely, the’ve got to be up there as well.

Digg’s growth is the most impressing, IMHO. It is almost 5 times bigger than one year ago!

Duncan! “WordPress.com doesn’t support your own URL (with a very very small number of exceptions).”

You said the same thing here, and the product manager of Typepad corrected you:

It’s not a small number of exceptions, it’s hundreds of thousands:

http://www.google.com/search?q.....dpress.com

If you don’t believe Google, you can ask Quantcast. The first numbers are just the “.wordpress.com” blogs, the second link includes parked domains:

http://www.quantcast.com/wordpress.com

I get the impression you really dislike us.

Jaike,

Blackplanet would be included in the Community Connect sites, but I don’t know if they are aggregating Migente and AsianAve also.
But you are right, I HATE seeing others listed and they have been around a very very long time with features the others are just now adding..

I’d be interested in seeing numbers for multiply.com next time. It’s not on a lot of people’s radar, but it’s a social networking site, based in the US (Florida) and has been around for a few years.

What does “Classmates.com Sites” mean — do the numbers include visits to affiliate sites promoting them?

These numbers are basically worthless as they’re US-only. Orkut and Friendster have huge global presences and aren’t even listed here. And Facebook was bigger overseas before it got big stateside.

In capable hands, Geocities could become a real player in social networking due to name recognition.

Sad to see it declining due to Yahoo’s reverse Midas touch.

The SixApart figures can never be accurate as TypePad supports your own URL; comScore has no way of tracking sites using the service with this setup, whereas WordPress.com doesn’t support your own URL (with a very very small number of exceptions). Flawed comparison.

The problem with panel data…quantcast, for example (another panel data provider) puts Digg at 12 million US uniques / month and Bebo at 1.5 million. So for one, they say Digg is bigger, but Bebo is smaller.

Who do you believe? Well, I like to take all the panel metrics with a grain of salt.

And as for Orkut, they are huge, internationally, but in the US, even our bootstrapped social network gets more traffic (if their rumored 600K US uniques / month is real and not just another panel data error).

Eventually, I hope there will be a way to get a solid metric that’s reasonably close to reality, and not highly suspect.

The only thing is that Facebook has better quality users than Myspace. Most of us here in the UAE/ Australia use Facebook versus Europe which many use Myspace. Go Dubai!!! Maybe ill start dubaibook.com
