ComScore had previously reported a sharp decline in Myspace users between October and December. December could have been a slow month if users went on vacation... Then when we get back home and back to our boring jobs we return to our favorite procrastination tools. This increase is just Myspace bouncing back. This makes sense to me.

Was less of a need to log in. Facebook...Also, the 800,000 less page views...still probably from the whole new ajax picture viewing thingy...they don't refresh the page anymore when going through an album...just the pictures. Myspace, everyone was told to delete their myspace during Janurary. Makes since. Facebook…no one was in school for winter break. Was less of a need to log in.

I wonder if that helped the numbers?...and it would be a U.S. only set of numbers.
