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!
