The Buzz Today

Well, lots of stuff circulating the Internet today and making a buzz … but my pick of the day is this spectacular story: MySpace US in being surpassed by Facebook. Can it be true? According to this report over on NME it is. According to this story, Facebook currrently has 132 million members, making it the largest social networking site on the Internet. Interestingly enough, according to another report from the Toronto Star back in March, the site only boasted 67 million users. Could it be possible for the site to draw that many new users in only six months? Of course the challenges that are facing MySpace US can be seen by noting that they have recently added the use of third party applications on their site. This was a major draw of Facebook over MySpace, which MySpace has attempted to play catch-up on. Based on today’s reports, it appears it may have been too little, too late!

It’s always fun to write that first blog post, know what I mean? Well today I have the privilege of writing my first blog post for The Buzz Today blog. Yes, that’s right … this blog is brand spanking new. So what are we going to do here?

Anything and everything, that’s what! The odds and sods from all over the Internet … whatever is catching “buzz” around the virtual water cooler - that’s where we’re headed! So why don’t you join me for a little trip around cyberspace and let’s see what Internet zeitgeist we can uncover.
